AMERICAN  FOUNDATIONS  FOR  SOCIAL  WELFARE:  A  SELECTED 

BIBLIOGRAPHY 


In  response  to  frequent  requests  for  information  relative  to  American  foundations  for 
social  welfare,  a  tentative  bibliography  was  prepared  and  published  in  June,  1915,  revised  in 
December,  1920,  with  a  supplementary  list  issued  in  October,  1922.  The  December,  1920,  list 
with  the  supplement  issued  in  October,  1922,  were  revised  and  published  as  one  bibliography  in 
June,  1924.  Since  then  many  new  foundations  have  come  into  existence  necessitating  the 
inclusion  of  new  data  and  the  revision  of  the  various  sections  of  the  earlier  bibliographies  by 
officers  of  the  several  foundations.  The  whole  is  incorporated  in  this  bulletin.  Any  additional 
data  or  suggestions  which  might  increase  the  usefulness  of  this  list  will  be  received  gladly  and 
incorporated  in  later  editions. 

In  this  bibliography  are  given  only  those  official  publications  which  are  indicative  of  the 
work  of  the  various  foundations.  Periodical  literature,  except  by  donors  or  members  of  staffs 
of  the  foundations,  is  not  included,  but  may  be  found  readily  by  reference  to  the  various 
periodical  indices.

AMERICAN  FUND  FOR  PUBLIC 
SERVICE,  INC. 

“The  American  Fund  for  Public 
Service,  Inc.,  is  established  to  further 
movements  for  the  public  welfare.  It 
is  an  association  incorporated  under 
the  laws  of  the  State  of  Delaware,  en¬ 
titled  to  receive  funds  by  gift  or  be¬ 
quest  and  to  distribute  them  for  pub¬ 
lic  service.  The  initial  gift  to  the 
Fund  of  $800,000  from  Charles  Gar¬ 
land  of  Massachusetts  enables  the 
Directors  to  initiate  the  work.  The 
Fund  aids  those  who  desire  to  contrib¬ 
ute  to  new  and  experimental  move¬ 
ments,  either  by  advising  them  of  the 
needs  in  that  field,  or  by  placing 
contributions  for  them,  or  by  advising 
them  in  making  bequests. 

This  Fund  exists  to  help  movements 
which  have  not  yet  gained  any  sub¬ 
stantial  public  support  and  which  rep¬ 
resent  the  ideas  and  aspirations  of  new 
and  developing  forces.  In  order  more 
clearly  to  indicate  the  field  of  useful¬ 
ness  which  the  Directors  have  in  mind 


the  following  statement  of  policy  has 
been  adopted  in  dealing  with  applica¬ 
tions  for  assistance: 

It  is  not  intended  to  follow  rigid 
rules  in  administering  the  Fund  and 
exceptions  may  be  made  where  par¬ 
ticular  needs  justify  them.  The  Board 
of  Directors  in  general  feels  that  the 
Fund’s  field  of  usefulness  does  not  in¬ 
clude  relief  of  individuals,  support  of 
colonization  schemes,  mechanical  in¬ 
ventions,  partisan  or  sectarian  move¬ 
ments,  or  social  agencies  of  established 
conventional  types.  The  Fund  is 
more  interested  in  experimental  move¬ 
ments  in  the  field  of  education  and 
industrial  organization,  particularly 
those  in  the  interest  of  the  producing 
classes,  and  for  the  protection  of 
minority  groups.”

THE  AMERICAN-HUNGARIAN  FOUN¬ 
DATION 

The  American-Hungarian  Founda¬ 
tion,  a  national  organization  which 
has  as  its  purpose  the  exchange  of  pro¬ 
fessors  and  students  between  Ameri¬ 
can  and  Hungarian  colleges,  was 
founded  in  1922  through  the  efforts  of 
Julius  Madarasz.  The  society  was 
incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Michi¬ 
gan  in  April,  1924,  with  its  central 
office  at  East  Lansing,  Michigan. 

The  Foundation  has  been  officially 
recognized  by  the  Hungarian  govern¬ 
ment  and  the  League  of  University 
Professors  of  Hungary,  as  well  as  by 
the  Michigan  State  Board  of  Agricul¬ 
ture  which  has  made  possible  the 
awarding  of  fellowships  in  the  Michi¬ 
gan  State  College.  Negotiations  with 
the  Hungarian  government  are  carried 
on  through  the  Royal  Hungarian 
Embassy  at  Washington,  D.  C. 

To  carry  out  its  purpose  the  Foun¬ 
dation  depends  upon  voluntary  con¬ 
tributions  and  annual  membership 


dues.  It  plans  to  establish  an  endow¬ 
ment  fund  as  soon  as  possible  to  make 
available  scholarships  in  various  uni¬ 
versities  and  colleges  in  America,  as 
well  as  in  Hungary. 

President,  Clarence  E.  Bement,  East 
Lansing,  Mich. 

THE  AMERICAN-SCANDINAVIAN 
FOUNDATION 

The  American-Scandinavian  Foun¬ 
dation  was  endowed  in  1911  by  the 
late  Niels  Poulson,  with  an  annual  in¬ 
come  of  $20,000  or  more  to  maintain 
an  interchange  of  students  and  teach¬ 
ers  and  to  support  other  forms  of 
educational  intercourse  between  the 
United  States  and  Scandinavia.  Its 
funds  are  administered  by  a  self-per¬ 
petuating  Board  of  Trustees,  who 
have  the  power,  under  their  charter,  to 
receive  and  manage  any  other  funds 
entrusted  to  their  care. 

At  first,  it  was  possible  for  the 
Foundation  to  appoint  only  six  stu¬ 
dents  to  Fellowships  each  year,  but 
from  1919  to  1924,  other  friends  of  the 
Foundation  in  America  and  abroad 
have  donated  funds  annually  so  that 
the  exchange  has  been  increased  to 
provide  for  forty  travelling  Fellows, 
twenty  being  appointed  on  each  side. 
During  this  first  decade  of  the  Foun¬ 
dation’s  existence,  three  hundred  stu¬ 
dents,  men  and  women,  were  appointed 
to  Fellowships  and  scholarships  of  the 
Foundation.

JUDGE  BAKER  FOUNDATION 

After  Harvey  Humphrey  Baker,  the 
first  Judge  of  the  Boston  Juvenile 
Court,  had  died  and  Frederick  P. 
Cabot  had  been  appointed  his  suc¬ 
cessor,  it  was  suggested  that  the  thing 
most  necessary  for  the  future  well¬ 


being  of  the  Court  was  to  have  a 
department  which  would  present  to 
Judge  Cabot  all  the  facts  in  relation  to 
the  physical,  mental  and  social  con¬ 
dition  of  the  children  who  were 
brought  before  him.  When  it  was 
found  possible  to  induce  Dr.  William 
Healy  and  Dr.  Augusta  F.  Bronner  to 
come  to  Boston,  steps  were  taken  to 
organize  the  Judge  Baker  Foundation, 
and  pledges  were  obtained  to  carry  out 
the  experiment  over  a  series  of  years. 

The  Judge  Baker  Foundation  was 
incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Massa¬ 
chusetts  on  April  26,  1917,  “for  the 
purpose  of  promoting  the  better  un¬ 
derstanding  of  juvenile  delinquents 
which  admit  of  desirable  development 
and  the  ways  and  means  by  which  to 
develop  them,  establishing  and  main¬ 
taining  a  clinic,  medical,  psychological, 
or  other  kind,  which  shall  study, 
examine  and  make  diagnoses,  prog¬ 
noses,  and  reports  on  juvenile  delin¬ 
quents;  conducting  such  activities  as 
shall  advance  general  and  special 
knowledge  of  the  causes  of  delin¬ 
quency  and  of  the  care  and  treatment 
of  delinquents ;  and  generally  carrying 
on  civic  and  educational  purposes  and 
thereby  establishing  and  maintaining 
a  living  memorial  to  Harvey  Hum¬ 
phrey  Baker,  first  Justice  of  the  Bos¬ 
ton  Juvenile  Court.”

BARNES  FOUNDATION 

The  Barnes  Foundation  was  incor¬ 
porated  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania 
on  December  4, 1922,  as  an  educational 
institution.  Its  purpose  is  educational 
in  the  widest  sense  of  the  word  though 
it  centers  primarily  in  advancement  of 
the  understanding  and  appreciation  of 
the  fine  arts. 

The  Foundation’s  program  for  edu¬ 
cation  is  based  upon  the  fundamental 
conceptions  of  “  democracy”  and 
“education”  as  these  are  set  forth  in 
the  work  of  modern  thinkers,  and 
more  particularly  in  that  of  John 
Dewey.  The  Foundation,  though  its 
official  status  as  an  educational  insti¬ 
tution  dates  back  only  a  little  more 
than  two  years,  has  been  actively 
engaged  in  educational  work  for  more 
than  twenty  years.  It  grew  out  of  a 
business  which  was  from  the  start  a 
co-operative  affair  in  that  all  the 
principals  were  animated  by  a  com¬ 
mon  interest  and  that,  in  the  division 
of  labor,  each  of  them  was  intrusted 
with  individual  initiative  and  respon¬ 
sibility. 

The  Foundation  does  not  aim  to 
confine  its  scope  to  art  or  even  aes¬ 
thetics  but  ultimately  its  intention  is  to 
assist  in  the  work  of  making  an  appli¬ 
cation  of  scientific  method,  in  the  best 
sense  of  the  word,  to  all  phases  of 
human  nature.  At  present  the  Foun¬ 
dation  conducts  general  courses  in  the 
appreciation  of  art  at  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  and  at  Columbia 
University  as  well  as  more  specialized 
courses.  It  also  supplies  lecturers  for 
colleges,  schools,  and  clubs  on  various 
topics  connected  with  art  and  educa¬ 
tion.

MARY  GASTON  BARNWELL  FOUNDA¬ 
TION 

James  G.  Barnwell  bequeathed  his 
entire  residuary  estate,  amounting  to 
upwards  of  $320,000,  for  the  benefit  of 
the  students  and  graduates  of  the 
Central  High  School  of  Philadelphia. 
The  Trust  was  named  the  Mary  Gas¬ 
ton  Barnwell  Foundation  in  honor  of 
the  Testator’s  mother,  and  is  adminis¬ 
tered  by  the  Philadelphia  Trust  Com¬ 
pany  as  Trustee.  It  maintains  the 
Barnwell  Lectureship  in  Ethics,  the 
Barnwell  Addresses  and  gives  support 
to  the  Barnwell  Library.  New  activi¬ 
ties  will  be  undertaken  from  time  to 
time  for  the  benefit  of  students  and 
alumni.

JAMES  BUCHANAN  BRADY 
FOUNDATION 

The  late  James  B.  Brady  left  a 
clause  in  his  will  as  follows: 

“  I  do  hereby  give  and  bequeath  the 
residue  of  my  estate  to  the  Society  of 
the  New  York  Hospital  for  establish¬ 
ment  and  maintenance  as  a  part  or 
branch  thereof,  of  a  department  to  be 
known  as  the  Department  of  Urology, 
James  Buchanan  Brady  Foundation. 
The  technical  head  of  said  department 
shall  be  entitled  Director  and  shall  be 
appointed  by  the  Society  of  the  New 
York  Hospital  except  in  so  far  as  the 
appointment  of  Dr.  Oswald  S.  Lowsley 
is  herein  provided  for.  The  necessary 
rooms  for  the  care  of  ward  and  private 
patients,  an  out  patient  department, 
laboratories  for  the  routine  examina¬ 
tions  of  patients  and  for  experimental 
and  research  work  shall  be  provided, 
either  by  using  rooms  in  the  buildings 
belonging  to  the  Society,  or,  if  deemed 
requisite,  by  the  construction  of  a  new 
building  or  buildings.  Dr.  Oswald  S. 
Lowsley,  provided  he  is  willing  to 
serve,  shall  be  the  first  Director 


5 


thereof  and  shall  have  supervision  of 
the  surgical,  clinical  and  scientific 
work.  All  plans  for  such  equipment 
and  building  as  may  be  possible  and 
necessary  under  this  legacy  shall  be  sub¬ 
mitted  to  him  for  his  approval,  should 
he  be  living;  said  plans  shall  also  be 
submitted  to  my  executors. 

“Should  in  the  future  development  of 
surgery  and  medicine,  such  a  depart¬ 
ment  become  unnecessary,  I  direct 
that  this  legacy  shall  be  used  by  the 
Society  of  the  New  York  Hospital  for 
purposes  as  near  akin  to  the  above  as 
practicable,  always  keeping  this  legacy 
as  a  separate  and  distinct  fund  to  be 
known  as  the  James  Buchanan  Brady 
Foundation  and  to  be  applied  to  the 
prosecution  of  hospital  and  research 
work  in  medicine  and  surgery  with  a 
view  of  preventing  and  curing  diseases 
and  of  alleviating  human  suffering.’ ’ 

The  residuum  of  the  estate  now  in 
the  possession  of  the  New  York 
Hospital  amounts  to  a  little  over 
eight  hundred  thousand  dollars  in 
cash  and  securities  which  eventually 
will  be  increased  to  approximately 
$1,000,000.

BREZ  FOUNDATION 

The  Brez  Foundation  was  incor¬ 
porated  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of 
New  York  in  1917.  Its  purpose  is  to 
distribute  in  the  City  of  New  York 
and  vicinity  the  income  of  its  principal 
for  charitable  work,  including  hospitals, 
orphan  asylums,  relief  associations, 
homes  for  the  helpless  and  other  charit¬ 
able  institutions  as  donations  which 
are  decided  upon  and  voted  for  by  the 
board  of  directors.  The  Brez  Founda¬ 
tion  is  self-sustaining  and  does  not 
solicit  any  contributions.

BROOKS-BRYCE  FOUNDATION 

The  Brooks-Bryce  Movement  was 
started  in  a  small  way  about  two  years 


ago  by  Mrs.  Brooks-Aten  of  New 
York  City.  She  named  it  after 
her  great-great-grandfather,  David 
Brooks,  a  clergyman  and  a  soldier  in 
the  Continental  armies  at  the  time 
the  Colonies  broke  away  from  the 
Mother  Country,  and  the  late  Lord 
Bryce,  the  author  of  The  American 
Commonwealth,  and  formerly  Am¬ 
bassador  from  the  Court  of  St.  James 
to  this  country. 

The  object  of  this  movement  is,  by 
means  of  essay  contests  in  the  second¬ 
ary  schools  throughout  the  English- 
speaking  world,  to  impress  upon  the 
minds  of  the  youth  the  fundamental 
and  enduring  reasons  why  Great 
Britain  and  her  associated  Common¬ 
wealths  and  the  United  States  of 
America  should  be  bound  in  under¬ 
standing  and  friendship,  looking  to¬ 
ward  the  peace  of  the  world.

WILLIAM  BUCHANAN  FOUNDATION 

The  William  Buchanan  Foundation 
was  established  on  October  9,  1923,  by 
Mr.  William  Buchanan,  of  Texarkana, 
Texas,  at  which  time  he  conveyed  to  a 
Board  of  Trustees  the  sum  of  one 
million  dollars.  The  Trust  Fund  and 
the  income  therefrom  is  to  be  held, 
used  and  expended  by  the  Trustees 
and  their  successors  in  this  Trust  for 
charitable  purposes  and  for  the  alle¬ 
viation  of  suffering  and  distress,  and 
to  that  end  the  Trust  Fund  may  be 
used  for  the  establishment  and  main¬ 
tenance  of  charitable  and  benevolent 
activities,  agencies  and  institutions 
and  for  the  aid  of  such  activities, 
agencies  and  institutions  already  es¬ 
tablished,  or  expended  through  such 
other  means  or  agencies  which,  from 
time  to  time,  shall  seem  expedient  to 
the  Trustees  and  their  successors  in 
this  Trust.  The  Trust  Fund  and  the 
income  therefrom  shall  be  adminis¬ 
tered  in  Bowie  County,  Texas,  but  for

WINIFRED  MASTERSON  BURKE 
RELIEF  FOUNDATION 

The  Burke  Foundation,  incorpo¬ 
rated  in  1902,  was  established  by  John 
M.  Burke  through  his  gifts  made  dur¬ 
ing  his  lifetime  and  the  legacy  derived 
through  his  will.  The  amount  of  the 
fund  is  not  stated.  The  Deed  of  trust 
expresses  the  wishes  of  the  founder  as 
to  its  chief  activities  .  .  .  “that 

the  benefits  of  the  Foundation  should 
be  reserved  for  intelligent  and  re¬ 
spectable  men  and  women  who,  in 
consequence  of  sickness,  before  they 
have  regained  sufficient  strength  to 
earn  their  livelihood,  may  be  in  need  of 
temporary  assistance.”  In  the  ful¬ 
fillment  of  these  wishes  the  Founda¬ 
tion  has  erected  and  maintained  at 
White  Plains,  N.  Y.,  a  convalescent 
institution  of  300  beds  capacity  which 
has  been  in  year-round  operation 
since  April,  1915,  caring  for  40,000 
patients.  A  city  Admission  House,  at 
325  East  57th  Street,  New  York  City, 
functions  broadly  as  a  reception  de¬ 
partment  and  clearing  house  in  con¬ 
valescent  and  allied  health  activities. 
Through  the  Sturgis  Research  Fund 
(established  by  the  Foundation’s  presi¬ 
dent,  Mr.  Frank  K.  Sturgis,  in  1917) 
and  also  directly,  the  Foundation 
gives  aid  and  support  to  various  pub¬ 
lic-health  activities  in  line  with  its 
main  purposes.  An  extensive  ref¬ 
erence  literature  is  available  for  free 
distribution.

C.  R.  B.  EDUCATIONAL  FOUNDATION, 

INC. 

The  C.  R.  B.  (Commission  for  Re¬ 
lief  in  Belgium)  Educational  Founda¬ 
tion,  Inc.,  was  organized  in  January, 
1920,  to  commemorate  the  work  of  the 
Commission  for  Relief  in  Belgium 
during  the  Great  War,  to  assist  in  the 
extension  of  education  in  Belgium, 
and  to  promote  the  exchange  of  intel¬ 
lectual  ideas  and  closer  relations  be¬ 
tween  Belgium  and  the  United  States. 

In  the  furtherance  of  these  aims,  the 
Foundation  has  made  grants  in  sup¬ 
port  of  educational  institutions  in 
Belgium,  especially  the  Universities  of 
Brussels  and  Louvain,  and  it  regularly 
supports  exchange  fellowships  and 
visiting  professorships  between  the 
two  countries.  The  Foundation  holds 
invested  capital  of  about  $3,250,000.

CABOT  FUND 

The  Cabot  Fund  was  created  under 
the  will  of  Charles  M.  Cabot,  which 
was  approved  and  allowed  in  Septem¬ 
ber,  1915.  The  Provisions  of  the  will 
in  regard  to  this  fund  are  contained  in 
Article  V  and  are  as  follows : — 

“  I  give  devise  bequeath  and  appoint 
a  Trust  Fund  No.  5  to  said  Philip 
Cabot  and  his  successors  as  trustee. 
This  fund  is  to  be  of  the  amount  of 
Fifty  Thousand  Dollars  ($50,000)  to 
be  held  in  trust  to  apply  the  same  to 
such  charitable  uses  as  shall  be  ap¬ 
pointed  by  a  board  of  three  managers 
hereinafter  described  but  always  and 
only  for  such  charitable  uses  for  the 
public  benefit  as  are  allowed  and  can 
be  sustained  by  law  of  the  general 
character  and  for  the  general  objects 
hereinafter  described.  Without  in¬ 
tending  to  limit  the  discretion  of  said 
board  by  a  definition  I  suggest  as 
illustrating  such  general  character  and 
objects  that  said  fund  be  used  to  pro¬ 
cure  or  encourage  or  promote  the 
investigation  and  study  of  industrial 


7 


conditions  in  this  country  and  in  the 
publication  of  the  results  of  such  in¬ 
vestigation  and  study  to  the  end  that 
industrial  abuses  and  hardships  of  in¬ 
dustrial  laborers  may  be  known  and 
remedied. 

Said  board  of  managers  may  in  their 
discretion  appoint  and  apply  said 
fund  in  whole  or  in  part  directly  for 
the  charitable  use  or  uses  determined 
upon  by  them  or  they  may  appoint 
said  fund  upon  trusts  for  such  charit¬ 
able  use  or  uses  in  whole  or  in  part  to  an 
individual  trustee  or  trustees  or  to  any 
charitable  or  other  corporation  or 
body  organized  or  to  be  organized  for 
purposes  which  include  the  charitable 
purposes  which  they  wish  to  see  car¬ 
ried  out.” 

Trustee,  Philip  Cabot,  18  Tremont 
St.,  Boston,  Mass. 

The  late  Charles  M.  Cabot  of  Bos¬ 
ton,  broker,  believed  that  a  stock¬ 
holder  has  responsibility  toward  the 
industry  from  which  he  draws  his  in¬ 
come  in  the  same  way  that  a  citizen 
has  responsibility  toward  the  com¬ 
munity  in  which  he  lives.  As  a  stock¬ 
holder  of  the  United  States  Steel  Cor¬ 
poration,  roused  by  the  findings  of  the 
Pittsburgh  Survey,  his  first  step  was 
to  exert  himself  to  clear  up  Painters’ 
Row,  a  cluster  of  bedraggled  company 
houses  on  the  South  Side;  his  second 
to  promote  the  one-day-of-rest-in- 
seven  schedule;  his  third  to  urge  the 
elimination  of  the  twelve-hour  day. 
Mr.  Cabot  died.  The  war  came.  But 
he  left  a  trust  fund  the  first  income 
from  which  has  been  devoted  this  past 
year  to  reopening  by  a  series  of  investi¬ 
gations  the  question  of  the  long  day  in 
the  steel  industry  and  the  way  out. —

CARNEGIE  CORPORATION  OF 
NEW  YORK 

The  Carnegie  Corporation  of  New 
York,  the  last  and  the  greatest  of  the 
trusts  established  in  this  country  by 
Andrew  Carnegie,  was  incorporated 
under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New 
York  in  1911.  Mr.  Carnegie  trans¬ 
ferred  to  it  $125,000,000,  of  which  the 
income  alone  may  be  used.  It  is  ex¬ 
pected  that  this  sum  will  be  increased 
to  $135,000,000  upon  the  settlement  of 
Mr.  Carnegie’s  estate.  Its  charter 
purpose  is:  “to  promote  the  advance¬ 
ment  and  diffusion  of  knowledge  and 
understanding  among  the  people  of 
the  United  States  by  aiding  technical 
schools,  institutions  of  higher  learning, 
libraries,  scientific  research,  hero  funds, 
useful  publications,  and  by  such  other 
agencies  and  means  as  shall  from  time 
to  time  be  found  appropriate  there¬ 
for.”  In  1917  the  charter  was 
amended  to  include  Canada  and  the 
British  Colonies  within  the  field  of 
activity  of  the  Corporation,  $10,000,- 
000  of  the  original  endowment  being 
set  aside  for  this  purpose.  Since  its 
inception,  the  Corporation  has  acted, 
not  as  an  operating  agency,  but 
rather  to  further  the  work  of  estab¬ 
lished  social  and  educational  organi¬ 
zations. 

During  the  first  ten  years  of  its  ex¬ 
istence,  the  bulk  of  the  income  of  the 
trust  was  devoted  to:  Institutions 
founded  by  Mr.  Carnegie;  Public  li¬ 
brary  buildings;  Colleges  and  uni¬ 
versities.  A  considerable  modification 
of  this  distribution  has  taken  place 
since  1921.  While  not  permitting 
their  interests  to  crystallize  into  fixed 
policies,  the  Trustees  have  devoted 
most  of  the  income  of  the  trust  to: 
library  service;  adult  education;  the 
place  of  the  arts  in  American  life; 
scientific  research  and  educational 
efforts  and  studies.  The  Constitution 
provides  for  a  board  of  fifteen  self- 
perpetuating  trustees,  of  which  five 
are  ex  officiis,  the  presidents  of  the 
five  American  foundations  established 
by  Mr.  Carnegie.

CARNEGIE  FOUNDATION  FOR  THE 
ADVANCEMENT  OF  TEACHING 

This  Foundation  was  incorporated 
by  act  of  Congress  March  10,  1906, 
with  an  initial  endowment  of  $10,000- 
000,  to  which  Mr.  Carnegie  added 
$5,000,000  in  1908  and  the  Carnegie 
Corporation  added  $12,000,000  in 
1918.  Its  primary  purpose  is  the 
establishment  of  retiring  allowances 
for  teachers  in  the  colleges,  universi¬ 
ties  and  technical  schools  of  the 
United  States,  the  Dominion  of  Canada 
and  Newfoundland.  A  summary  in 
the  Twentieth  Annual  Report  (1925) 
analyzes  the  distribution  of  $13,374,- 
000,  through  100  universities  and 
colleges,  in  1,274  retiring  allowances 
and  pensions  for  widows.  In  1913 
Mr.  Carnegie  added  a  Division  of 
Educational  Enquiry,  for  which  he 
gave  $1,250,000.  The  function  of  this 


9 


i 


Division  he  specified  to  be  “  to  conduct 
studies  and  to  make  investigations 
concerning  universities,  colleges,  pro¬ 
fessional  schools,  and  systems  of  edu¬ 
cation  generally,  to  investigate  prob¬ 
lems  of  education  affecting  the  im¬ 
provement  of  educational  methods, 
the  advancement  of  teaching,  or  bet¬ 
terment  of  educational  standards,  and 
in  general  to  investigate  and  to  report 
upon  those  educational  agencies  which 
undertake  to  deal  with  the  intellectual, 
social,  and  moral  progress  of  man¬ 
kind,  and  to  publish  such  results  as  the 
trustees  may  consider  of  value.”

CARNEGIE  RELIEF  FUND, 
PITTSBURGH 

On  the  12th  of  March,  1901,  Mr. 
Carnegie  set  aside  $4,000,000  to  insure 
to  the  employees  of  the  Carnegie  com¬ 
panies  some  certain  compensation  in 
case  of  death,  injury,  old  age,  or  in¬ 
capacity,  coming  to  them  in  the  course 
of  their  employment. 

This  fund  was  merged  on  January  1, 
1911,  with  a  pension  fund  established 
by  the  United  States  Steel  Corpora¬ 
tion,  the  joint  fund  bearing  the  title 
“United  States  Steel  and  Carnegie 
Pension  Fund,”  the  Steel  Corporation 
providing  an  additional  $8,000,000, 
and  making  the  total  fund  $12,000,000. 
The  Carnegie  Relief  Fund  thereupon 
virtually  ceased  to  exist.

INSTITUTE  OF  INTERNATIONAL  EDU¬ 
CATION 

Established  in  February,  1919,  by 
the  Carnegie  Endowment  for  Inter¬ 
national  Peace.  Its  general  aim  is  to 
develop  international  good  will  by 
means  of  educational  agencies  and  to 
act  as  a  clearing  house  of  information 
and  advice  for  Americans  concerning 
things  educational  in  foreign  countries 
and  for  foreigners  concerning  things 
educational  in  the  United  States.

INSTITUTE  OF  ECONOMICS 

Founded  by  the  Carnegie  Corpora¬ 
tion  of  New  York  “for  the  purpose  of 
assembling  and  interpreting  the  eco¬ 
nomic  data  which  forms  the  bases  of 
national  and  international  policies. 
It  is  self-evident  that  the  modern 
economic  system  has  many  defects, 
many  sources  of  waste  and  friction, 
and  that  the  annual  avoidable  eco¬ 
nomic  losses  are  stupendous  in  amount. 
The  Institute  will  endeavor  through 
its  investigations  to  ascertain  the 
causes  of  the  economic  losses  and,  as 


11 


far  as  possible,  to  point  the  way  to 
their  elimination. 

The  Carnegie  Corporation  of  New 
York,  in  committing  to  the  Trustees 
the  administration  of  the  endowment, 
over  which  the  corporation  will  have 
no  control  whatsoever,  has  in  mind  a 
single  purpose — namely,  that  the  in¬ 
stitution  so  inaugurated  shall  be  con¬ 
ducted  with  the  sole  object  of  ascer¬ 
taining  the  facts  and  of  interpreting 
these  facts  for  the  people  of  the  United 
States  in  the  most  simple  and  under¬ 
standable  form.  The  Institute  shall 
be  administered  by  its  Trustees  with¬ 
out  regard  to  the  special  interests  of 
any  group  in  the  body  politic,  either 
political,  social  or  economic.”

ASSOCIATION  OF  AMERICA 

An  Association  organized  by  the 
Carnegie  Foundation  in  1918  and  pro¬ 
vided  in  that  year  by  the  Carnegie 
Corporation  with  a  capital  and  surplus 
of  $1,000,000,  the  income  from  which

annuities  for  teachers  and  other  per¬ 
sons  employed  by  colleges,  by  uni¬ 
versities,  or  by  institutions  engaged 
primarily  in  educational  or  research 
work;  to  offer  policies  of  a  character 
best  adapted  to  the  needs  of  such  per¬ 
sons  on  terms  as  advantageous  to  its 
policy  holders  as  shall  be  practicable; 
and  to  conduct  its  business  without 
profit  to  the  corporation  or  to  its 
stockholders.” 

At  the  end  of  1925  the  Association 
had  written  for  teachers  in  540  insti¬ 
tutions,  3,640  annuity  contracts,  rep¬ 
resenting  annual  annuities  amounting 
to  $5,640,290  and  3,251  life  insurance 
contracts  representing  $17,450,035; 
140  institutions  were  contributing 
toward  annuities  for  their  teachers.

CHARLES  A.  COFFIN  FOUNDATION 

On  May  16,  1922,  Charles  A.  Coffin 
retired  from  the  active  leadership  of 
the  General  Electric  Company.  In  the 
same  year,  as  an  expression  of  appre¬ 
ciation  of  Mr.  Coffin’s  great  work  as 
the  inspiring  leader  of  the  Company 
and,  in  fact,  of  the  whole  electrical 
industry,  the  Charles  A.  Coffin  Foun¬ 
dation  was  established  by  the  Direc¬ 
tors  of  the  General  Electric  Company. 

A  fund  of  $400,000  was  set  aside, 
the  income  from  which,  amounting  to 
approximately  $20,000  a  year,  being 
made  available  for  encouraging  and 
rewarding  service  in  the  electrical 
field .  Prizes  are  awarded  to  employees 
of  the  General  Electric  Company,  rec¬ 
ognition  is  given  to  lighting,  power  and 
railway  companies  for  improvement 
in  service  to  the  public,  and  fellowships 
are  given  to  graduate  students  for  re¬ 
search  work  at  technical  schools  and 
colleges. 

The  Foundation  is  controlled  and 
administered  by  a  Foundation  Com¬ 
mittee  appointed  by  the  Board. 
This  Committee,  within  the  limits  of 
the  purposes  for  which  the  Founda¬ 
tion  is  created,  has  power  to  change  the 
conditions  applicable  to  the  distribu¬ 
tion  of  the  fund  and  the  amounts  for 
each  particular  purpose.

COMMONWEALTH  FUND 

The  Commonwealth  Fund  is  a 
philanthropic  foundation  established 
“for  the  welfare  of  mankind”  in  1918 


13 


with  an  initial  gift  amounting  to 
approximately  $17,000,000  by  Mrs. 
Stephen  V.  Harkness.  The  donor  has 
increased  the  endowment  from  time  to 
time  to  a  total  of  approximately 
$38,000,000. 

The  Commonwealth  Fund  is  en¬ 
gaged  in  several  different  lines  of 
activity.  Much  of  its  effort  has  been 
devoted  to  the  field  of  work  for  chil¬ 
dren  where  it  is  conducting  two  in¬ 
tensive  programs — one  in  the  field  of 
child  guidance  or  mental  hygiene  for 
children  and  one  in  the  field  of  child 
health.  Under  the  former  project  it 
has  operated  a  number  of  demonstra¬ 
tion  child  guidance  clinics  in  different 
parts  of  the  country  from  which 
permanent  clinics  supported  by  the 
local  community  have  resulted  in  Los 
Angeles,  Minneapolis,  St.  Paul,  Dal¬ 
las,  St.  Louis  and  Memphis.  At  the 
present  time  it  is  operating  demon¬ 
stration  clinics  in  Cleveland  and  Phila¬ 
delphia.  The  Fund  has  also  offered, 
largely  through  the  New  York  School 
of  Social  Work,  scholarships  for  the 
training  of  psychiatric  social  workers 
and  has  supported  a  special  training 
clinic  in  this  field  known  as  the  Bureau 
of  Children’s  Guidance  located  at 
9  W.  48th  St.,  New  York.  It  has  also 
financed  demonstrations  of  visiting 
teacher  work  in  thirty  communities  in 
various  parts  of  the  United  States. 
In  the  field  of  child  health,  the  Fund 
is  operating  four  complete  commun¬ 
ity  demonstrations  in  Fargo,  North 
Dakota;  Marion  County,  Oregon; 
Rutherford  County,  Tennessee;  and 
Athens,  Clarke  County,  Georgia.  The 
Fund  is  also  operating  a  somewhat 
similar  program  of  child  health  in 
Austria. 

The  Fund  recently  established  a 
Division  of  Education  under  which 
studies  in  Educational  Research  have 
been  conducted.  This  Division  in 
1925  undertook  the  administration  of 
twenty  annual  fellowships  established 
by  the  Fund  for  British  graduate  stu¬ 
dents.  The  selection  of  these  fellows 
is  in  charge  of  a  British  Committee  of 


Award  of  which  H.  R.  H.  the  Prince  of 
Wales  is  the  Honorary  Chairman. 

The  most  recent  activity  of  the 
Fund  has  been  the  establishment  of  a 
Division  of  Rural  Hospitals  which 
gives  assistance  in  erecting  hospitals 
in  two  rural  communities  each  year. 
The  general  purpose  of  this  plan  is  to 
assist  in  improving  conditions  of  medi¬ 
cal  practice  and  health  conditions  in 
the  various  communities  to  be  reached. 
This  activity  was  established  in  1926. 

In  addition,  the  Fund  reserves  a 
small  portion  of  its  income  for  the  pur¬ 
pose  of  making  appropriations  in  re¬ 
sponse  to  miscellaneous  appeals.  Pro¬ 
jects  assisted  may  be  in  any  field  of 
educational,  scientific  or  philanthropic 
work  and  the  number  of  grants  made 
for  such  purposes  averages  about 
twenty  per  annum.

HENRY  P.  DAVISON  SCHOLARSHIP 

FUND 

Established  by  Mrs.  Henry  P. 
Davison,  in  1923,  in  memory  of  her 
husband  and  its  object  is  to  aid  in 
fostering  good  will  between  the  United 
States  and  Great  Britain,  and  rec¬ 
ognizing  that  mutual  understanding  is 
the  essence  of  such  good  will. 


The  income  from  the  fund,  the 
amount  of  which  was  not  made  known, 
is  to  be  devoted  to  defraying  the  ex¬ 
penses  of  six  English  students  who  will 
pass  at  least  one  year  as  under¬ 
graduates  in  Harvard,  Yale  and 
Princeton  universities,  which  have 
consented  to  co-operate  with  the  fund 
and  furnish  the  visiting  scholars  free 
tuition.

THE  DUKE  ENDOWMENT 

In  December,  1924,  Mr.  James  B. 
Duke  placed  securities  valued  at 
$40,000,000  in  a  trust  fund  to  be  ad¬ 
ministered  by  a  board  of  trustees  for 
educational  and  charitable  purposes 
in  the  states  of  North  and  South 
Carolina.  The  indenture  of  trust  pro¬ 
vided  for  the  establishment  in  North 
Carolina  of  an  institution  of  learning 
to  be  known  as  Duke  University.  Mr. 
Duke  also  directed  that  in  case  the 
trustees  of  Trinity  College  should 
decide  to  amend  their  charter  and 
expand  Trinity  into  an  institution 
under  the  name  of  Duke  University, 
the  College  at  Durham  should  be  the 
beneficiary  of  the  provisions  above 
stated.  On  December  29,  1924,  the 
Trustees  of  Trinity  College  voted 
unanimously  to  accept  the  terms  of  the 
indenture  of  trust,  and  on  December 
30,  the  legal  formalities  were  com¬ 
pleted  under  which  Trinity  College 
became  Duke  University.  By  the 
terms  of  Mr.  Duke’s  will  $7,000,000 
was  added  to  the  building  fund.  In 
addition  $4,000,000  was  given  for 
buildings  for  a  Medical  School,  and 
$6,000,000  to  the  endowment  of  the 
University.  Of  his  residuary  estate 
90%  is  to  go  to  the  Hospital  fund 
and  10%  to  the  Duke  University. 

“The  indenture  which  creates  Duke 
University  provides  also  for  hospitals, 
for  orphans,  for  the  higher  education 
of  white  and  colored  youth,  and  it  is  a 
peculiar  satisfaction  to  us  to  have  this 
institution  associated  in  this  way  with 
these  undertakings  for  the  promotion 


of  the  physical,  intellectual,  and  moral 
well-being  of  men.” 

EASTMAN  MEMORIAL  FOUNDATION 

Created  by  Lauren  C.  Eastman  in 
memory  of  his  grandson,  Lauren  East¬ 
man  Rogers.  Its  objects  and  purposes 
are  the  advancement  of  learning  and 
of  the  arts  and  sciences,  and  the  pro¬ 
motion  of  the  public  welfare  by  such 
means  and  through  the  furnishing  of 
such  facilities  as,  from  time  to  time, 
may  be  devised  and  lawfully  employed 
including  (but  without  limiting  in  any 
manner  the  future  ultimate  scope  of 
the  institution  appropriate  to  its  ob¬ 
jects  and  purposes  as  broadly  stated 
above)  the  operation,  and/or  the 
furnishing  of  facilities  for  the  opera¬ 
tion  of  others,  of  a  library,  the  collec¬ 
tion  and  exhibition  of  books,  pictures, 
sculptures,  curios  and  other  objects,

ECONOMIC  FOUNDATION 

The  Economic  Foundation  has  been 
organized  to  further  impartial  investi¬ 
gation  in  the  field  of  economic,  social 
and  industrial  science. 

The  Foundation  will  act  as  a  trust 
fund  for  donations  made  by  persons 
who  desire  to  have  a  group  of  im¬ 
partial  and  scientific-minded  men  seek 
the  important  facts  of  social,  economic 
and  industrial  problems. 

Under  the  plan  of  organization  the 
trustees  were  chosen  to  represent  vari¬ 
ous  economic  viewpoints,  including 
banking,  organized  labor,  manufac¬ 
turing,  the  legal  profession,  academic 
interests,  agriculture  and  movements 
for  social  and  economic  reform. 

The  inauguration  of  the  foundation 
was  said  to  be  the  first  move  in  the 
direction  of  creating  a  permanent  fund 
for  impartial  investigation  in  this  field 
and  the  primary  beneficiary  is  to 


be  the  National  Bureau  of  Economic 
Research. 

“The  purpose  of  the  Economic 
Foundation  is  not  to  provide  economic 
cure-alls,  not  to  indulge  in  propaganda 
nor  to  attempt  to  make  the  world  over 
in  a  day,  but  simply  and  solely  to 
bring  together  a  group  of  impartial 
and  scientific-minded  men  who  shall 
be  charged  with  the  duty  of  seeing 
that  the  funds  of  the  Foundation  are 
applied  year  after  year  through  the 
National  Bureau,  or  otherwise  if  cir¬ 
cumstances  require,  in  bringing  the 
searchlight  of  scientifically  deter¬ 
mined  facts  to  bear  upon  our  social, 
economic  and  industrial  problems.”

ENGINEERING  FOUNDATION 

Engineering  Foundation  is  the  joint 
organization  for  research  and  closely 
related  activities  established  by  the 
four  senior  national  societies  of  Civil, 


Mining  &  Metallurgical,  Mechanical 
and  Electrical  engineers,  known  jointly 
as  the  Founder  Societies.  It  origi¬ 
nated  in  a  purpose  long  entertained  by 
Ambrose  Swasey,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio, 
and  a  gift  of  $200,000  by  him  in  1914, 
as  the  nucleus  of  a  great  endowment 
“for  the  furtherance  of  research  in 
science  and  in  engineering,  or  for  the 
advancement  in  any  other  manner  of 
the  profession  of  engineering  and  the 
good  of  mankind.” 

Engineering  Foundation  funds  and 
other  trusts  are  owned  and  adminis¬ 
tered  by  United  Engineering  Society, 
as  the  trustee  of  the  Founder  Societies. 
It  was  incorporated  by  special  Act, 
Chapter  703  of  the  Laws  of  New  York, 
May  11,  1904.  Engineering  Founda¬ 
tion  Board  is  a  department  of  United 
Engineering  Society  and  has  discre¬ 
tionary  power  in  disposition  of  income 
from  the  endowment  and  of  other 
funds  for  current  expenditure,  but  no 
voice  in  the  administration  of  the  en¬ 
dowment  principal.  The  Foundation 
acts  also  as  treasurer  for  co-operative 
researches.  For  several  years  the 
Foundation  has  helped  to  bring  about 
the  use  of  approximately  one  hundred 
thousand  dollars  of  contributed  funds 
as  an  annual  average.  In  addition 
contributions  of  services,  equipment 
and  materials  have  been  made  by  in¬ 
dividuals  and  organizations  which 
would  have  cost  a  large  sum  if  com¬ 
pensated.  The  Foundation  has  been 
favored  with  the  co-operation  of  in¬ 
dustries,  societies  of  engineers  and 
scientists,  engineering  and  construct¬ 
ing  firms,  governmental  departments, 
universities  and  engineering  colleges, 
groups  of  bankers,  power  companies, 
and  many  individuals.  It  is  a  research 
foundation,  an  institution  of  higher 
learning,  seeking  additional  knowl¬ 
edge  to  improve  practise  and  instruc¬ 
tion  in  engineering. 

Engineering  Foundation  aided  in

THE  ENGINEERING-ECONOMICS 
FOUNDATION 

The  Engineering-Economics  Foun¬ 
dation,  a  post-graduate  college  con¬ 
cerned  with  Public  Health,  uses  Re¬ 
search  and  Teaching  to  minimize  the 
paralyzing  effect  of  emergency  on  the 
normal  actions  on  which  life  and  well¬ 
being  in  the  complex  modern  city 
depend. 

The  Foundation  conducts  research 
on  man  as  endangered  by  blizzard,  con¬ 
flagration,  earthquake,  famine,  flood, 
pestilence  and  tornado.  It  organizes 
knowledge  of  all  means  of  protecting 
man  against  the  destructive  forces  of 
these  emergencies. 

The  Foundation  teaches  health  offi¬ 
cers,  business  executives  and  citizens 
to  know  the  dangers  of  emergency  and 
to  use  existing  means  of  protection.

ALICE  MANDELICK  FLAGLER 
FOUNDATION 

The  particular  objects  of  the  Alice 
Mandelick  Flagler  Foundation  are  as 
follows : 

“To  receive,  maintain  and  dispose 
of  a  fund  or  funds  and  to  apply  the 
income  and  principal  thereof,  in  part 
or  in  whole,  to  relieve  poverty,  sick¬ 
ness  and  infirmity  and  to  eradicate 
their  causes,  and  in  connection  there¬ 
with  to  encourage  the  training  of 
nurses  and  to  promote  their  comfort 
and  welfare ;  and  to  use  as  a  means  to 


those  ends  research,  publication,  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of 
homes  for  training  schools  for  nurses, 
clubs  for  nurses,  and  the  aid  and  as¬ 
sistance  of  any  such  activities,  agen¬ 
cies  and  institutions,  as  well  as  of 
hospitals,  infirmaries,  dispensaries  and 
medical  and  educational  institutions 
already  established  or  hereafter  to  be 
established ;  and  also  to  use  any  other 
means  and  agencies  which  from  time 
to  time  shall  seem  expedient  to  the 
members  or  trustees  of  the  corpora¬ 
tion.” 

The  Foundation  has  been  recently 
incorporated  and  has  as  yet  received 
no  funds.  It  is  not  now,  therefore,  in  a 
position  to  entertain  applications  for 
funds.

CARL  FORSTMANN  MEMORIAL 
FOUNDATION 

“The  Carl  Forstmann  Memorial 
Foundation  has  been  incorporated 
under  the  laws  of  New  Jersey  with  an 
initial  capital  of  $250,000,  the  gift  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Julius  Forstmann  in 
memory  of  their  son,  Carl  Edward 
Forstmann. 

The  primary  purpose  is  to  assist 
boys  and  young  men  of  ability,  char¬ 
acter  and  promise,  whose  financial 
circumstances  make  impossible  the 
proper  development  of  their  powers 
and  ambitions,  to  attain,  through  such 
assistance,  a  large  measure  of  self- 
realization  and  social  usefulness. 

Grants  of  assistance  are  to  be  of  two 
kinds,  awards  and  loans,  and  are  to  be 
made  always  for  the  achievement  of 
specific  purposes.  An  award  is  to  be 
given  outright  and  the  recipient  is 
under  no  obligation  to  return  any  part 
of  the  money  furnished  unless  he 
chooses  to  do  so.  In  the  case  of  a  loan, 
the  recipient  is  expected  to  return  the 
amount  received  when  he  is  able.”

tary,  Robert  M.  Reinhold,  2  Barbour

FRANKLIN  FOUNDATION 

Maintains  Franklin  Union,  a  tech¬ 
nical  institute,  established  through  a 
bequest  made  by  Benjamin  Franklin 
over  a  century  ago.  Franklin  be¬ 
queathed  the  sum  of  one  thousand 
pounds  sterling  to  the  city  of  Boston 
which  was  to  be  loaned  at  5  per  cent 
to  aid  young  “ married  artificers”  in 
starting  business  and  which  at  the  end 
of  one  hundred  years  was  to  be 
divided,  a  portion  being  continued  at 
interest  for  a  second  century,  and  a 
portion  being  expended  in  '‘public 
works  which  may  be  judged  of  most 
general  utility  to  the  inhabitants.” 
An  industrial  school  and  technical  in¬ 
stitute  seemed  of  the  most  general 
utility  and  the  building  and  equip¬ 
ment  of  Franklin  Union  is  the  result  of 
this  bequest.  The  land  was  provided 
by  the  city  and  Mr.  Andrew  Carnegie 
donated  the  first  maintenance  fund. 
Since  the  opening  in  September,  1908, 
over  20,000  men  and  women  have 
enrolled  as  students.

GENETIC  FOUNDATION 

The  Genetic  Foundation  was  estab¬ 
lished  in  1921  and  incorporated  in 
January,  1922.  Its  purpose  is  stated  as 
follows: 

“This  Foundation  exists  to  gather 
(by  original  research  and  otherwise) 
and  to  disseminate  information  con¬ 
cerning  the  principles  of  heredity  op¬ 
erative  in  the  human  race,  and  espe¬ 
cially  concerning  the  possibility  of 
mutations;  and  to  stimulate  the  con¬ 
duct  and  support  of  work  in  this 
field.”

EDWIN  GOULD  FOUNDATION  FOR 
CHILDREN,  INC. 

The  Edwin  Gould  Foundation  for 
Children  was  incorporated  March  7, 
1923,  by  special  act  of  the  Legislature 
of  the  State  of  New  York  for  the  pur¬ 
pose  as  set  forth  in  such  act  of  “re¬ 
ceiving  and  maintaining  a  fund  or 
funds  and  applying  the  income  and 
principal  thereof  to  promote  the  wel¬ 
fare  of  children  in  the  state  of  New 
York  and  elsewhere  throughout  the 
United  States  of  America  and  to  pro¬ 
mote  and  improve  social  and  living 
conditions  in  the  United  States  of 
America.” 

The  Policy  of  the  Foundation  is  to 
give  direct  present  aid  to  the  normal, 
dependent  white  child  and  to  develop 
the  individuality  and  personality  along 
the  lines  best  fitted  for  its  maintenance 
and  to  avoid  the  repressed  so-called 
Institutional  type. 

The  Object  of  the  Foundation  is  to 
re-establish  each  child  in  its  own 
family  circle  or  to  place  it  in  a  family 
suited  to  the  child  or  in  a  self-support¬ 
ing  life. 

A  Clearing  Bureau  is  established 
through  which  all  children  pass  the 
quarantine  period.  They  are  distrib¬ 
uted  to  the  Institutions  affiliated 
with  the  Foundation  or  to  the  Institu¬ 
tions  clearing  through  its  Bureau. 


Each  child  carries  with  it  the  record  of 
examination,  tests  and  observation 
giving  as  fully  as  possible  the  moral 
background  and  the  child’s  physical 
and  mental  condition.  These  reports 
are  for  the  guidance  of  those  who  take 
on  the  responsibility  of  the  child. 

In  1925  there  were  1,050  children 
distributed  through  the  Bureau  to 
30  Institutions  and  to  the  families. 
The  following  are  established  and 
operated  by  the  Foundation : 

Clearing  Bureau.  Pelham  Parkway  No. 
and  Stillwell  Avenue,  Bronx,  New  York  City. 
For  185  children  with  an  average  stay  of  30 
days.  Annual  turnover  about  2,200. 

Camp  Gould  South.  Spring  Valley,  New 
York.  For  100  girls  for  the  summer. 

Camp  Gould  North.  Summit  Park, 
New  York.  For  400  girls  and  boys  for  sum¬ 
mer.

No.  Bronx,  N.  Y.  C.  For  100  boys  and  girls

York.  Operated  in  connection  with  the 
Lakeside  School  and  Camp  Gould  South. 

The  following  are  Institutions  to 
which  the  Foundation  has  furnished 
land,  buildings  and  equipment: 

Gould  Club.  94,  99,  100  Prospect  Park 
West,  Brooklyn,  New  York.  For  70  older 
girls  in  business.  Continuous.

particular  development  among  the  older 
children  coming  under  observation  in  the 
different  Institutions.

JOHN  SIMON  GUGGENHEIM 
MEMORIAL  FOUNDATION 

Founded  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Simon 
Guggenheim  in  memory  of  their  son 
and  incorporated  by  special  act  of  the 
Legislature  of  the  State  of  New  York 
on  March  16,  1925. 


To  promote  the  advancement  and 
diffusion  of  knowledge  and  under¬ 
standing,  and  the  appreciation  of 
beauty,  by  aiding  without  distinction 
on  account  of  race,  color  or  creed, 
scholars,  scientists  and  artists  of  either 
sex  in  the  prosecution  of  their  labors 
and  by  such  other  lawful  means  as  the 
trustees  shall  from  time  to  time  deem 
appropriate. 

In  his  Letter  of  Gift  addressed  to 
the  Trustees  of  the  Foundation, 
Senator  Guggenheim  said : 

.  .  .  It  is  Mrs.  Guggenheim’s 

and  my  desire,  in  memory  of  our  son, 
through  the  agency  of  this  Founda¬ 
tion,  to  add  to  the  educational,  liter¬ 
ary,  artistic  and  scientific  power  of 
this  country,  and  also  to  provide  for 
the  cause  of  better  international  un¬ 
derstanding.  Our  thought  was  that 
the  income  of  the  fund  devoted  to 
these  purposes  should  be  used  to  pro¬ 
vide  opportunities  for  both  men  and 
women  to  carry  on  advanced  study  in 
any  field  of  knowledge,  or  in  any  of 
the  fine  arts,  including  music;  and 
that  systematic  arrangements  should 
be  made  to  assure  these  opportunities 
under  the  freest  possible  conditions, 
and  to  make  available  for  the  public 
benefit  the  results  of  such  studies. 
Believing  as  we  do  that  such  oppor¬ 
tunities  may  be  found  in  every  coun¬ 
try  of  the  world,  we  purposely  make 
no  specification  of  locality,  domestic 
or  foreign,  for  the  pursuit  of  these 
aims.  .  .  .”

HARMON  FOUNDATION,  INC. 

The  Harmon  Foundation  was  incor¬ 
porated  under  the  Membership  Laws 
of  the  State  of  New  York  in  February, 
1922,  for  charitable  and  humanitarian 
purposes,  and  to  promote  the  well¬ 
being  of  mankind  throughout  the 
United  States.  It  is  primarily  inter¬ 
ested  in  the  application  of  business 
methods  which  will  advance  efficiency 


in  educational,  community  and  phil¬ 
anthropic  work. 

The  Foundation  operates  on  the 
principle  that  a  gift  of  service  is  of 
more  lasting  benefit  than  a  donation 
of  money  which  involves  no  corre¬ 
sponding  exercise  of  initiative  or 
responsibility  on  the  part  of  the  in¬ 
dividual  or  group  receiving  the  benefit. 
Except  in  the  limited  financing  of 
practical  programs  which  are  directed 
toward  ultimate  self-support,  it  is  the 
purpose  of  the  Foundation  to  assist  in 
working  out  constructive  plans,  rather 
than  give  toward  an  immediate  de¬ 
mand  which  may  later  prove  to  be  of 
temporary  value  only  and  not  a  real 
solution  of  the  difficulty. 

The  work  of  the  Foundation  is 
divided  into  four  main  departments: 
The  Division  of  Student  Loans;  The 
Division  of  Playgrounds;  The  Divi¬ 
sion  of  Awards  for  Constructive  and 
Creative  Achievement;  The  Division 
of  Social  Research  and  Experimenta¬ 
tion. 

In  the  Division  of  Student  Loans, 
the  Foundation  is  engaged  in  an  ex¬ 
periment  of  making  business  loans  to 
college  students  with  character  and 
group  responsibility  as  the  basis  of 
credit  without  the  usual  forms  of  com¬ 
mercial  collateral.  The  four  principal 
features  of  the  plan  are:  careful  selec¬ 
tion  of  risks  through  the  loan  commit¬ 
tee  in  each  affiliated  college;  install¬ 
ment  form  of  repayment  beginning 
one  year  after  graduation;  strict 
follow-up;  mutual  or  group  guarantee 
as  the  protection  against  loss.  Not 
more  than  $250  is  loaned  to  a  student 
in  a  given  year  and  the  total  loans  may 
not  exceed  $500. 

In  the  Division  of  Playgrounds  the 
Foundation  is  endeavoring  to  arouse 
national  interest  in  the  permanent 
playground  movement,  by  assisting 
small,  rapidly  growing  towns  and 
cities  to  secure  suitable  land  while 
costs  are  still  low.  Titles  are  vested  in 
the  Town  Council  or  Board  of  Educa¬ 
tion  and  dedicated  in  perpetuity  for 
recreation  uses. 


In  the  Division  of  Awards  for  Con¬ 
structive  and  Creative  Achievement 
the  Foundation  hopes  to  stimulate 
worthwhile  production  in  the  fields  of 
art,  industry,  social  and  philanthropic 
endeavor,  through  bringing  to  wider 
attention  outstanding  accomplish¬ 
ments  not  now  receiving  public  rec¬ 
ognition.  This  part  of  the  Founda¬ 
tion’s  activities  is  carried  on  by 
organizations  functioning  in  the  fields 
it  is  desired  to  cover. 

The  Division  of  Social  Research  and 
Experimentation  is  concerned  with 
activities  in  which  the  Foundation 
becomes  interested  which  have  not  yet 
been  developed  sufficiently  to  deter¬ 
mine  whether  or  not  it  is  desirable  to 
carry  them  on  in  a  larger  way.

HARTLEY  CORPORATION 

The  Hartley  Corporation  was  or¬ 
ganized  by  special  act  of  the  Connecti¬ 
cut  legislature  of  1921.  The  object  to 
be  attained  by  its  organization  was  to 
perpetuate  the  gifts  of  Helen  Hartley 
Jenkins  of  New  York  City  beyond  her 
life  time  and  to  work  out  a  system  of 
giving  which  would  accomplish  certain 
policies  which  Mrs.  Jenkins  had  in 
mind.  These  policies  may  be  broadly 
stated  by  saying  that  the  Corporation’s 
policy  is  to  give  for  experimental  work 
along  new  lines  of  educational  and 
charitable  endeavor. 

The  Corporation  is  not  one  which  is 
giving  large  sums  of  money  for  build¬ 
ings  or  for  educational  endowments  or 
anything  of  that  kind,  but  it  is  pro¬ 
moting  certain  lines  of  work,  such  as 
the  conduct  of  a  clinic  for  the  exami¬ 
nation  of  defective  children  in  Hartford 
for  the  State  of  Connecticut,  the  or¬ 
ganization  of  a  conference  regarding 
accidents  in  traffic  at  Yale,  the  man¬ 
agement  and  support  of  Hartley  House 
which  is  a  settlement  house  in  New 
York  City,  the  management  and  sup¬ 
port  of  certain  experimental  work  in 
the  Marcellus  Hartley  Laboratory  in 
Columbia  University,  which  is  doing 
experimental  work  with  radio  tele¬ 
phones,  controls,  etc.  It  has  made 
gifts  to  Columbia  University  for 
Teachers  College,  which  was  founded 
and  is  maintained  largely  by  Mrs. 
Jenkins  through  the  Corporation. 


There  are  also  a  number  of  other 
activities  now  on  the  program  of  the 
Corporation.

SAMUEL  AND  HENRIETTE  HECHT 
FOUNDATION 

Mr.  Israel  Hecht,  of  Philadelphia, 
provided  in  his  will  that  his  estate, 
after  the  death  of  Mrs.  Hecht,  is  to  be 
administered  as  the  Samuel  and 
Henriette  Hecht  Foundation  to  fur¬ 
nish  free  coal  to  the  poor.  The 
foundation  is  designed  as  a  memorial 
to  his  parents. 

The  trustees  are  given  sweeping 
powers  in  administering  the  founda¬ 
tion  and  they  are  given  the  discretion 
to  practice  other  forms  of  philan¬ 
thropy.  The  will  states  that  “no 
worthy  poor  family  shall  be  denied  its 
benefits  by  reason  of  any  discrimina¬ 
tion  because  of  race,  creed,  color  or 
nationality.”  From  article  in  Herald- 
Tribune,  July  10,  1926. 

HECKSCHER  FOUNDATION  FOR 
CHILDREN 

The  Heckscher  Foundation  for  Chil¬ 
dren  was  incorporated  by  special  act 
of  Legislature  in  1921  (Chapter  73) 
and  the  stated  purpose  is  “the  receiv¬ 
ing  and  maintaining  a  fund  or  funds 
and  applying  the  income,  and/or 
principal  thereof,  to  promote  the  wel- 


fare  of  children  in  the  State  of  New 
York  and  elsewhere  throughout  the 
United  States  of  America.”  This  was 
the  gift  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  August 
Heckscher,  through  whose  munificence 
a  new  building  has  been  erected  on 
the  block  front,  from  104th  to  105th 
Streets  and  Fifth  Avenue.  The  entire 
structure  is  given  over  to  the  work  of 
child  protection  and  welfare,  and  the 
activities  now  in  full  operation  com¬ 
prise  a  swimming  pool,  gymnasium, 
out-door  and  in-door  playgrounds, 
manual  and  musical  training,  includ¬ 
ing  a  printery,  a  children’s  theatre 
equipped  in  every  detail,  and  any 
other  activity  that  may  promote  the 
happiness  of  such  children  as  have 
been  in  need  of  it  most. 

The  Foundation,  which  has  hereto¬ 
fore  functioned  in  conjunction  with 
the  Society  for  the  Prevention  of 
Cruelty  to  Children,  has  been  segre¬ 
gated  and  now  addresses  itself  pri¬ 
marily  to  the  care  of  very  small  chil¬ 
dren  abandoned  by  their  parents  or 
whose  mothers  are  unable  to  protect 
them  temporarily. 

It  has  also  by  agreement  with  the 
New  York  Infantorium  allotted  space 
to  the  latter  which  addresses  itself  to 
the  care  of  very  small  undernourished 
and  undeveloped  children,  thus  saving 
many  lives. 

The  activities  of  the  Foundation  in 
respect  of  clubs,  printing  office  facili¬ 
ties,  vocational  training,  swimming 
pool,  gymnasium  and  corrective  gym¬ 
nasium  are  functioning  normally  but 
not  by  any  means  to  capacity. 

The  Theatre  is  in  charge  of  Mrs. 
Major  and  is  constantly  used  mainly 
in  the  interest  of  and  for  the  children 
of  New  York,  largely  for  vocational 
training,  partly  for  lectures  and  ama¬ 
teur  theatricals. 

The  building  needs  to  be  better

HERSHEY  FUND 

In  1909  Mr.  Milton  S.  Hershey  and 
his  wife  gave  title  to  a  tract  of  486 
acres  just  outside  the  town  of  Hershey 
to  establish  the  Hershey  Industrial 
School.  It  is  understood  that  Mr. 
Hershey  has  since  then  turned  over  in 
trust  all  of  his  holdings  amounting  to 
approximately  $40,000,000. 

The  Hershey  Industrial  School  is  to 
be  a  “  permanent,  non-sectarian  insti¬ 
tution  for  the  residence,  physical  and 
moral  welfare,  maintenance,  support 
and  education  of  poor,  healthy,  white, 
male  orphans  (an  orphan  being  a  child 
whose  father  is  deceased)  admitted  be¬ 
tween  the  ages  of  four  and  eight  years, 
for  their  instruction  in  useful  trades 
and  occupations,  and  to  make  pro¬ 
vision  for  their  further  education,  be¬ 
fore  or  after  their  arrival  at  the  age  of 
eighteen  years,  at  some  other  school, 
college,  or  university,  .  .  .  bear¬ 

ing  in  mind  that  the  main  object  in 
view  is  to  train  young  men  to  useful 
trades  and  occupations,  so  that  they 
can  earn  their  own  livelihood.”

the  New  York  Membership  Corpora¬ 
tions  law.  The  endowment  fund, 
given  by  the  Baron  and  Baroness 
de  Hirsch,  amounts  now  to  $3,800,000, 
to  be  used  for  the  aid  of  resident 
Jewish  immigrants.  Its  activities  are 
(1)  promotion  of  agricultural  instruc¬

Farm  School  at  Doylestown,  Pa.,  and 
the  granting  of  scholarships  to  Jewish 
young  men  at  the  State  Institute  of 
Applied  Agriculture  at  Farmingdale, 
Long  Island,  N.  Y.,  and  other  state

maintained  by  the  Fund  for  many 
years  at  Woodbine,  N.  J.;  (2)  aid  to 
agriculturalists  by  way  of  selection  of

York  and  Baltimore;  (5)  the  Wood¬ 
bine  Land  &  Improvement  Company

a  subsidiary  organization.  The  Fund 
has,  latterly,  concentrated  more  on 
trade  and  agricultural  instruction  and 
extensive  aid  to  farmers,  and  given  up 
some  of  its  pioneer  Americanization 
work  and  charitable  pecuniary  aid,  as 
local  communities  and  the  State  and 
its  agencies  have  taken  over  work 
formerly  done  by  it.

EMANUEL  LEHMAN  FOUNDATION 

The  Emanuel  Lehman  Foundation 
was  established  December  31,  1907, 
by  the  children  of  the  late  Emanuel 
Lehman,  Philip  Lehman,  Harriet 
Lehman  and  Evelyn  L.  Ehrich.  The 
late  Emanuel  Lehman  had  expressed  a 
desire  to  celebrate  his  80th  birthday 
by  a  gift  for  charitable  purposes  and 
had  directed  the  purchase  of  the 
premises  known  as  155,  157  and  159 
Henry  Street,  intending  to  erect 
thereon  a  building  designed  for  the  use 
of  crippled  children,  but  he  died  in 
January,  1907,  before  his  purposes 
were  achieved. 

The  Foundation  was  incorporated 
under  the  laws  of  New  York  on 
December  31,  1907: 

“To  acquire  and  take  by  grant,  de¬ 
vise  or  bequest,  and  to  hold  and  man¬ 
age  in  trust  and  in  perpetuity  or 
otherwise,  real  and  personal  property, 
or  either,  for  the  maintenance  of  a 
school  for  the  education  of  crippled 
children,  or  for  any  charitable  or 


benevolent  or  educational  purpose,  or 
for  two  or  more  such  purposes;  to 
maintain  and  carry  on  a  school  for  the 
education  of  crippled  children,  and  to 
carry  on  any  charitable,  benevolent  or 
educational  purpose  for  which  a  cor¬ 
poration  may  be  created  under  Article 
II  of  the  Membership  Corporation 
Law,  and  to  do  all  things  necessary  or 
convenient  and  lawful  in  the  premises. 

The  territory  in  which  its  operations 
are  to  be  principally  conducted,  is  the 
Borough  of  Manhattan.” 

In  1908  the  Emanuel  Lehman 
Foundation  conveyed  to  the  Crippled 
Children’s  East  Side  Free  School,  the 
free  and  unrestricted  use  and  control 
of  the  premises  155,  157  and  159 
Henry  Street,  New  York  City,  on 
which  there  was  newly  erected  a  school 
building  with  a  roof  playground,  for 
the  education,  instruction,  medical 
and  surgical  treatment  of  crippled 
children.  The  average  daily  atten¬ 
dance  for  1925  including  the  workroom 
was  234. 

There  was  also  provided  a  country 
home  at  Oakhurst,  New  Jersey,  accom¬ 
modating  130,  where  children  may 
remain  from  three  to  ten  weeks  during 
the  summer.  The  total  sum  of  the 
gifts  of  the  Emanuel  Lehman  Founda¬ 
tion  approximates  $300,000.  The 
institution  is  an  entirely  non-sectarian 
school.

ELIZABETH  McCORMICK  MEMORIAL 

FUND 

The  Elizabeth  McCormick  Memor¬ 
ial  Fund  was  established  May  20, 
1908,  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cyrus  Hall 
McCormick,  of  Chicago,  in  memory  of 
their  daughter  Elizabeth,  who  died 
January  25,  1905,  at  the  age  of  twelve 
years,  the  object  of  the  organization 
being  “to  improve  the  condition  of 
child  life  in  the  United  States.”  Four 
Trustees  were  asked  to  join  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  McCormick  in  administering  the 
fund  and  in  deciding  questions  of 
policy.  Later,  the  Board  of  Trustees 
was  increased  to  eight  members. 

On  June  10,  1913,  the  Elizabeth 
McCormick  Memorial  Fund  was  in¬ 
corporated  under  the  laws  of  the  State 
of  Illinois,  the  object  as  then  stated 
being  “to  engage  in  such  works  of 
public  charity  as  may  from  time  to 
time  appear  to  the  Board  of  Trustees 
to  be  most  urgently  needed;  to  pre¬ 


vent  or  to  ameliorate  suffering,  dis¬ 
ease,  poverty  and  crime;  to  promote 
education;  to  establish,  promote  or 
assist  any  agency  designed  to  improve 
the  conditions  of  human  society  and 
especially  to  study  the  conditions  of 
child  life  and  to  take  such  measures 
from  time  to  time  as  may  promise  to 
promote  the  health,  happiness  and 
general  welfare  of  children.” 

The  Fund’s  work  has  included  con¬ 
structive  efforts  to  reduce  infant 
mortality;  the  establishment  and 
maintenance  of  open  air  schools  in 
Chicago  and  propaganda  for  the  estab¬ 
lishment  of  such  schools  in  other  com¬ 
munities;  the  promotion  of  state  and 
national  legislation  to  better  condi¬ 
tions  for  children ;  studies  of  the 
problem  of  malnutrition  among  chil¬ 
dren;  experiments  in  school  systems 
in  order  to  develop  a  program  of  health 
education ;  the  securing  of  data  on  the 
physical  and  mental  condition  of 
school  children.  In  1919-20  the  Fund 
conducted  the  Children’s  Year  Cam¬ 
paign  in  Illinois. 

The  Fund  conducts  nutrition  and 
health  classes  and  co-operates  with 
social  agencies  and  institutions  in 
establishing  standards  for  the  physical 
care  and  welfare  of  children.  It  pro¬ 
vides  continuous  health  supervision 
for  children  referred  by  the  Pension 
Department  of  the  Juvenile  Court  and 
the  United  Charities,  and  co-operates 
with  the  United  Charities  in  the  nutri¬ 
tion  program  of  a  summer  camp.  One 
division  is  devoted  to  work  with  the 
pre-school  child,  including  a  program 
for  the  physical  care  of  children  in 
certain  day  nurseries,  and  a  co-opera¬ 
tive  program  with  other  agencies  in 
a  nursery  school.  The  Fund’s  plans 
include  a  variety  of  methods  for  the 
education  of  parents  in  child  care. 

The  Fund  maintains  a  Speakers’ 
Bureau,  through  which  speakers  may 
be  secured  for  single  lectures  or  for 
courses,  and  a  Child  Welfare  Library. 
The  services  of  the  trained  librarian  are 
available  for  bibliographical  and  ref¬ 
erence  work.  The  Fund  also  acts  as 


a  distributing  center  for  child  welfare 
publications  and  loans  exhibit  mate¬ 
rial  on  child  health  subjects.  The  loan 
material  includes  a  comprehensive 
child  health  exhibit  which  is  sent  out 
only  under  the  charge  of  a  member  of 
the  staff  of  the  Fund.

FUND 

Established  in  memory  of  the  daugh¬ 
ter  of  Mrs.  Josephine  McDermott  of 
Seattle,  Washington.  The  terms  of 
the  will  specify  that  the  fund  of 
$100,000  shall  be  used  by  the  Univer¬ 
sity  of  Washington  for  one  or  both  of 
two  purposes:  “first,  research  work 
in  or  in  connection  with  said  univer¬ 
sity  tending  to  promote  the  prevention 
or  cure  of  tuberculosis;  second,  the 
purchase  of  radium,  and  research  work 
in  connection  with  and  actual  use  of 
same  in  the  treatment  of  disease.”  No 
definite  plans  have  been  made  as  to 
the  exact  direction  the  research  is  to 
take,  but  doubtless  it  will  be  co-ordi¬ 
nated  with  the  work  that  is  being  done 
in  other  foundations  in  order  that 
duplication  may  be  avoided.

MARSH  FOUNDATION 

Mr.  George  H.  Marsh  left  a  bequest 
of  several  millions  of  dollars  to  estab¬ 
lish  a  trust  fund  to  be  known  as  the 
Marsh  Foundation.  Under  the  terms 
of  the  will  a  school  and  home  in  Van 
Wert  County,  Ohio,  was  to  be  estab¬ 
lished  and  maintained  for: 

“First,  the  benefit  of  orphan  and 
other  children,  residents  of  said  county; 

Second,  the  benefit  of  orphan  and 
other  children,  residents  of  other 
counties  of  Northwestern  Ohio,  who, 
by  reason  of  misfortune  or  for  any 
other  cause,  are  denied  the  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  secure  home  training,  educa¬ 
tion  and  instruction  as  hereinafter 
provided  for;  and, 


Third,  the  benefit,  if  the  income  and 
capacity  of  the  school  warrant,  of  such 
other  children  as  may  be  received  into 
the  school  alone,  who  may  not  be 
dependent  upon  the  Foundation  for  a

MILBANK  MEMORIAL  FUND 

The  Milbank  Memorial  Fund  was 
established  and  endowed  by  Mrs. 
Elizabeth  Milbank  Anderson  as  a  me¬ 
morial  to  her  mother  and  father.  It 
was  incorporated  under  the  Member¬ 
ship  Corporations  Law  of  the  State  of 
New  York  on  April  3,  1905,  under  the 
name  of  “The  Memorial  Fund  Asso¬ 
ciation.”  Shortly  after  Mrs.  Ander¬ 
son’s  death,  which  occurred  on  Feb¬ 
ruary  22,  1921,  pursuant  to  request 
expressed  in  her  will,  the  name  was 
changed  to  the  Milbank  Memorial 
Fund. 

The  following  quotation  from  the 
statement  of  purposes  in  the  cer¬ 
tificate  of  incorporation  indicates  the 
broad  scope  of  this  foundation:  “to 
improve  the  physical,  mental  and 
moral  condition  of  humanity,  and 
generally  to  advance  charitable  and 
benevolent  objects.” 

The  wide  range  of  the  philanthropic 
work  carried  on  by  Mrs.  Anderson  as 
an  individual  for  many  years  was  in¬ 
creasingly  and  independently  assumed 
during  her  lifetime  by  this  Fund. 
While  not  crystallizing  its  interests  into 
fixed  policies,  this  Fund  has  shown  a 
clear  tendency  to  devote  a  large  part 
of  its  income  to  child  welfare  and  pub¬ 
lic  health  work,  including  mental 
hygiene. 

The  Milbank  Memorial  Fund  is  not 
an  operating  agency,  but  works  through 
recognized  organizations,  either  in  re¬ 
sponse  to  requests  for  support  or  by  a 
discriminating  selection  of  organiza¬ 
tions  which  the  Directors  feel  are  best 


27 


qualified  to  carry  out  the  aims  and 
purposes  of  the  Fund. 

Its  major  work  is  a  series  of  health 
demonstrations,  the  aim  of  which  is  to 
ascertain  the  effectiveness  and  cost  of 
certain  health  measures,  the  preven¬ 
tion  of  unnecessary  disease,  and  the 
promotion  of  individual  and  commu¬ 
nity  health  in  typical  American  com¬ 
munities.  In  general  the  work  is  mod¬ 
elled  on  the  Home  Hospital  demon¬ 
stration,  which  has  been  financed 
largely  by  the  Milbank  Memorial  Fund 
and  carried  on  by  the  New  York 
Association  for  Improving  the  Condi¬ 
tion  of  the  Poor,  and  the  Community 
Health  and  Tuberculosis  Demonstra¬ 
tion  of  the  National  Tuberculosis 
Association  in  Framingham,  Mass. 
The  communities  selected  as  demon¬ 
stration  centers  are : 

(1)  Cattaraugus  County,  with  a 
population,  truly  rural,  of  approxi¬ 
mately  74,000. 

(2)  Syracuse,  a  city  of  approxi¬ 
mately  188,000. 

(3)  Bellevue- Yorkville  District  of 
New  York  City,  with  a  population  of 
approximately  175,000. 

These  demonstrations  are  under  the 
general  supervision  of  an  Advisory 
Council  of  Experts  and  a  Technical 
Board,  both  created  by  and  responsi¬ 
ble  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Milbank  Memorial  Fund.  The  Fund, 
however,  will  not  itself  undertake  the 
responsibility  for  operation.  It  will 
operate  through  the  local  public 
health  authorities  and  recognized  vol¬ 
untary  health  and  social  agencies.

MUSICIANS’  FOUNDATION,  INC. 

The  Society  of  The  Musicians’ 
Foundation,  Inc.,  established  by  The 
Bohemians,  New  York  Musicians’ 
Club,  has  completed  the  ninth  year  of 
its  work.  The  objects  for  which  the 
corporation  has  been  formed  are  to 
foster  the  interests  and  advance  the 
condition  of  and  give  social  assistance 
to  professional  musicians  and  their 
families  in  case  of  need,  all  in  such 
manner  as  may  be  provided  by  the 
laws  of  the  State  of  New  York  or  the 
United  States  of  America. 

The  ideal  of  this  society  is  a  high 
one  both  as  regards  attainment  and 
obligation.  The  affairs  are  managed 
without  any  overhead  expenses.  Every 
dollar  collected  is  added  to  the  capital 
and  invested  in  first  mortgage  bonds. 
The  Farmers’  Loan  and  Trust  Com¬ 
pany  is  the  custodian  of  the  fund. 
Only  the  income  of  this  fund  is  em¬ 
ployed  for  purposes  of  relief. 

The  Musicians’  Foundation  was  in¬ 
corporated  November  14,  1914.  Since 
then  assistance  has  been  rendered  to 
aged  musicians,  to  the  sick,  to  families 
of  deceased  musicians  and  money  has 
been  advanced  without  interest  charges 
to  help  musicians  over  periods  of  non¬ 
employment,  etc. 

Besides  voluntary  contributions  from 


28 


various  sources  the  Musicians’  Foun¬ 
dation  has  received  valuable  acces¬ 
sions  from  the  proceeds  of  concerts 
given  for  its  benefit.

PEABODY  EDUCATION  FUND 

Mr.  George  Peabody  created  this 
trust  in  1867  by  two  gifts,  together 
amounting  to  $3,000,000,  the  income

young  of  the  more  destitute  portion  of 
the  Southern  and  Southwestern  states 
of  our  union.”

members  or  trustees,  including  re¬ 
search,  publication,  the  establishment 
and  maintenance  of  charitable  or 
benevolent  activities,  agencies,  and 
institutions,  and  the  aid  of  any  such 
activities,  agencies  or  institutions  al¬ 
ready  established.”

colleges,  and  movements  in  the  inter¬ 
est  of  the  Negro  and  of  better  race 
relations  in  this  country;  (5)  in  co¬ 
operation  with  foreign  mission  soci¬ 
eties  of  Europe  and  America,  a  study 
of  native  education  in  West,  South 
and  Equatorial  Africa  was  made  in 
1920-21.  The  report  of  the  Commis¬ 
sion  which  made  the  study  entitled 
“Education  in  Africa”  was  published 
in  the  fall  of  1922;  (6)  in  accordance 
with  the  expressed  wish  of  the  British 
colonial  office  and  the  further  co¬ 
operation  of  foreign  mission  societies 


of  Europe  and  the  Colonial  Govern¬ 
ment,  a  similar  study  of  East  Africa 
was  undertaken  in  1923-24.  The 
report  of  this  second  Commission  en¬ 
titled  “  Education  in  East  Africa,  ”  was 
published  in  1925. 

In  1921-22  a  tenement  house  was 
erected  in  97th  Street  (New  York  City) 
for  the  purpose  of  demonstrating  that 
comfortable,  sanitary  housing  could  be 
built  and  operated  on  sound  business 
principles  in  New  York  City  for  fami¬ 
lies  with  moderate  incomes  at  monthly 
rentals  between  $9.00  and  $12.00  a

Financed  by  an  appropriation  of 
$50,000  on  the  part  of  William  E.

a  few  short  demonstration  pictures  of 
a  truly  religious  character  to  be  used  as 
part  of  a  service  of  worship.  It  is 
hoped  that  the  vitality  and  appeal  of 
these  pictures  will  be  such  as  to  in¬ 
crease  church  attendance.

to  the  E.  O.  Robinson  Mountain 
Fund.  The  object  of  the  Mountain 
Fund,  as  stated  in  the  articles  of  incor¬ 
poration,  is  to  help  the  people  and 
particularly  the  youth  of  the  moun¬ 
tain  region  and  particularly  in  Eastern 
Kentucky,  to  attain  a  better  condition 
of  living  and  better  understanding 
thereof.  It  contemplates  vocational 
education  and  could  include  academic 
instruction  also.  In  addition  to  this 
fund  Mr.  Robinson  conveyed  some 
fifteen  thousand  acres  of  land  located 
in  the  counties  of  Breathitt,  Perry  and 
Knott  in  Kentucky.  The  principal 
part  of  the  timber  had  been  cut  from 
this  land.  Such  mineral  deposits  as  it 
might  have  were  reserved.  The  pur¬ 
pose  was  to  establish  a  school  of 
forestry.  This  has  been  worked  out 
with  the  University  of  Kentucky,  and 
the  land  has  been  conveyed  to  the 
University  for  that  purpose,  as  well  as 
for  farm  experimental  work,  horticul¬ 
ture,  etc.  The  Legislature  of  Ken¬ 
tucky  of  1924,  appropriated  twenty- 
five  thousand  dollars  a  year,  and  the 
session  of  1926  continued  the  appro¬ 
priation  for  the  ensuing  two  years  for 
the  reforestry  work,  as  well  as  for 
farm  demonstration  on  these  prop¬ 
erties.

BUREAU  OF  SOCIAL  HYGIENE 

This  Bureau  was  established  by  Mr. 
John  D.  Rockefeller,  Jr.,  in  1912,  and 
incorporated  in  1913  for  the  “study, 
amelioration  and  prevention  of  those 
social  conditions,  crimes  and  diseases 
which  adversely  affect  the  well-being 
of  society,  with  special  reference  to 
prostitution  and  the  evils  associated 
therewith.”  The  Bureau  has  made 
important  investigations  on  these  sub¬ 
jects.  It  also  maintained  for  six  years 
a  laboratory  of  social  hygiene  at  the 
New  York  State  Reformatory  for 
Women  at  Bedford,  N.  Y.,  and  has 
issued  several  books  and  pamphlets 
giving  results  of  that  work.

LAURA  SPELMAN  ROCKEFELLER 
MEMORIAL 

The  Laura  Spelman  Rockefeller 
Memorial  was  founded  in  October, 


33 


1918,  by  John  D.  Rockefeller,  in 
memory  of  his  wife,  Laura  Spelman 
Rockefeller. 

The  Memorial  is  incorporated  for 
general  charitable  and  philanthropic 
purposes,  and  is  not  limited  geograph¬ 
ically  in  its  field  of  operations.  The 
principal  of  the  fund  (approximately 
$73,000,000),  as  well  as  its  income, 
may  be  used  by  the  Trustees  in  for¬ 
warding  its  humanitarian  activities. 

The  Trustees  of  the  Memorial, 
keeping  in  mind  the  purposes  for 
which  the  fund  was  created,  have  sup¬ 
ported  the  work  of  a  number  of 
organizations  in  the  fields  of  social 
welfare  and  social  betterment.  Con¬ 
sonant  with  this,  they  have  sought  to 
support  the  development  of  the  social 
sciences  generally,  regarding  the 
knowledge  thus  derived  as  desirable  in 
itself  and  as  providing  criteria  useful 
to  the  Memorial  in  the  determination 
of  its  further  development.  The  social 
sciences,  such  as  sociology,  economics, 
political  science,  history,  psychology 
and  ethnology,  considered  both  in¬ 
dividually  and  as  parts  of  a  single 
larger  field  of  knowledge,  have  been 
encouraged  through  fellowships,  visit¬ 
ing  professors,  and  support  to  aca¬ 
demic  and  research  institutions.  Prob¬ 
lems  in  the  fields  of  child  development, 
child  guidance  and  parent  education, 
mental  and  social  hygiene,  and  of  in¬ 
terracial  relations  may  be  mentioned 
as  having  received  special  attention.

ROCKEFELLER  FOUNDATION 

The  Rockefeller  Foundation  was  in¬ 
corporated  under  the  laws  of  New 
York,  May  14,  1913.  It  was  chart¬ 
ered  “to  promote  the  well-being  of 
mankind  throughout  the  world,”  to 
provide  an  agency  which  shall  deal 
with  problems  of  human  welfare  in 
accordance  with  the  principles  and 
methods  most  approved  in  each 
generation.  The  general  fund  of 
the  Foundation  is  approximately 


$165,000,000,  both  the  income  and

tain  causes  of  human  ill  and  to  build 
up  positive  programs  for  bettering 
conditions  and  (b)  to  make  demon¬ 
strations  in  various  fields  and  to  inau¬ 
gurate  helpful  work,  responsibility  for 
which  may  later  be  assumed  by  that 
portion  of  the  public  most  intimately 
concerned.

ROCKEFELLER  INSTITUTE  FOR 
MEDICAL  RESEARCH 

The  objects  of  the  Institute,  founded 
in  1901,  are  “to  conduct,  assist,  and 
encourage  investigations  in  the  sci¬ 
ences  and  arts  of  hygiene,  medicine 
and  surgery,  and  allied  subjects,  in  the 
nature  and  causes  of  disease  and  the 
methods  of  its  prevention  and  treat¬ 
ment,  and  to  make  knowledge  relating 
to  these  various  subjects  available  for 
the  protection  of  the  health  of  the 
public  and  the  improved  treatment  of 
disease  and  injury/'  The  Institute 
has  been  generously  endowed  by  Mr. 
John  D.  Rockefeller  by  a  series  of  gifts 
which  have  from  time  to  time  capital¬ 
ized  its  growing  needs.  Its  property 
is  in  charge  of  a  Board  of  Trustees;  a 
Board  of  Scientific  Directors  has  super¬ 
vision  of  its  scientific  work.  The 
Institute  maintains  a  series  of  lab¬ 
oratories  and  a  hospital  at  66th  Street 
and  Avenue  A,  New  York  City,  and  a 
Department  of  Animal  Pathology  near 
Princeton,  New  Jersey.

JULIUS  ROSENWALD  FUND 

“Julius  Rosen wald  of  Chicago  on 
August  1 2 , 1 9 1 2 ,  as  one  of  several  nota¬ 
ble  gifts  in  commemoration  of  his 
50th  birthday  anniversary,  contrib¬ 
uted  $25,000  to  Tuskegee  Institute  to 
be  distributed  among  such  offshoots 
of  Tuskegee  as  Principal  Booker 
T.  Washington  should  designate.  Of 


this  amount  Mr.  Washington  asked 
permission  to  use  $2,100  for  an  ex¬ 
periment  in  building  in  Alabama  six 
rural  schools  for  Negroes.  The  con¬ 
ditions  of  the  experiment  required  that 
the  Negroes,  by  their  own  contribu¬ 
tions  of  cash,  land  or  labor,  by  gifts 
from  white  friends,  or  by  grants  from 
public  funds,  should  raise  in  each 
community  an  amount  equal  to  or 
larger  than  the  $300  assigned  as 
Rosen  wald  aid.  The  interest  aroused 
by  the  campaigns  for  constructing 
these  buildings  was  so  great  and  so 
many  other  communities  sought  simi¬ 
lar  offers  of  aid  that  between  1912  and 
1920,  under  the  same  co-operative 
plan,  Mr.  Rosen  wald  contributed  to 
the  erection  in  the  South  of  600  such 
schoolhouses.  Up  to  May  1,  1926, 
3,270  buildings,  requiring  8,305  teach¬

RUSSELL  SAGE  FOUNDATION 

The  Russell  Sage  Foundation  was 
established  in  1907  by  Mrs.  Russell 
Sage  in  memory  of  her  husband.  It 
was  incorporated  by  an  act  of  the 
Legislature  of  New  York  in  April, 
1907.  Mrs.  Sage  gave  to  the  Founda¬ 
tion  an  endowment  of  $10,000,000. 
By  her  will  she  bequeathed  it  an  addi¬ 
tional  sum  of  about  $5,000,000.  The 
income  only  may  be  spent. 

The  purpose  of  the  Foundation,  as 
stated  in  its  charter,  is  “the  improve¬ 
ment  of  social  and  living  conditions  in 
the  United  States  of  America.”  The 
charter  further  says:  “It  shall  be 
within  the  purposes  of  said  corpora¬ 
tion  to  use  any  means  which  from  time 
to  time  shall  seem  expedient  to  its 
members  or  trustees,  including  re¬ 
search,  publication,  education,  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of 
charitable  and  benevolent  activities, 
agencies  and  institutions,  and  the  aid 
of  any  such  activities,  agencies  or  in¬ 
stitutions  already  established.”  It 
does  not  relieve  individual  need. 

The  Foundation  acts  through  a 
number  of  departments  of  its  own  and 
through  a  few  other  agencies  which  are 
especially  equipped  to  deal  with  cer¬ 
tain  evils,  such  as  illness  and  bad 
housing. 

The  departments  of  the  Foundation 
are:  Charity  Organization  Depart¬ 
ment,  Department  of  Industrial  Stu¬ 
dies,  Library,  Department  of  Recrea¬ 
tion,  Department  of  Remedial  Loans, 
Department  of  Social  Legislation,  De¬ 
partment  of  Statistics,  Department  of 
Surveys  and  Exhibits.  The  Founda¬ 
tion  also  maintains  a  consultation 
service  in  Delinquency  and  Penology. 

The  publications  of  the  Foundation, 
which  now  number  about  100  books 
and375  pamphlets  touching  practically 
every  field  of  social  work,  are  tangible 
evidences  of  the  undertakings  of  the 
Foundation  through  its  own  depart¬ 
ments  and  its  work  with  other  social 
organizations.  For  a  complete  list  of 
the  books  and  pamphlets,  see  Cata¬ 
logue  of  publications.

ROBERT  SCHALKENBACH  FOUNDA¬ 
TION 

“Incorporated  in  order  to  admin¬ 
ister  the  funds  bequeathed  by  the  late 
Robert  Schalkenbach  to  spread  the 
knowledge  of  the  principles  set  forth 
by  Henry  George  in  his  *  Progress  and 
Poverty’  and  other  writings;  and  to 
receive  and  administer  any  other 
property  that  may  be  donated  or  be¬ 
queathed  for  similar  purposes.’’ 

The  purposes  of  the  Foundation,  as 
set  forth  in  the  certificate  of  incor¬ 
poration,  are  thus  stated : 

“To  keep  before  the  public  the  ideas 
of  Henry  George  as  set  forth  in  his 
book  ‘Progress  and  Poverty’  and  his 
other  writings,  especially  what  are 
popularly  known  as  the  Single  Tax  on 
Land  Values  and  International  Free 
Trade;  to  secure  discussion  and  con¬ 
sideration  of  these  doctrines  and  their 
probable  effect  upon  social  welfare; 
to  assist  in  all  proper  ways  to  establish 
the  same  in  practical  operation  of  law ; 
to  aid  in  the  education  of  the  public  in 
the  science  of  economics  and  sound 
principles  of  taxation;  and  for  these 
purposes  to  establish  and  maintain 
such  facilities  as  may  be  necessary  for 
publishing,  lecturing  and  educational 
activities  and/or  to  give  aid  to  in¬ 
dividuals  or  other  organizations  with 
similar  objects  and  to  do  all  other  acts 
that  may  tend  to  further  the  objects 
named. 

“In  pursuance  of  the  above  objects 
to  receive  and  administer  funds  from 
the  Estate  of  Robert  Schalkenbach, 
deceased,  and  any  other  property  that 
may  be  donated ,  devised  or  bequeathed 
for  any  or  all  of  such  objects.” 

The  Directors  of  the  Foundation 
are  committed  to  the  policy  of  ad¬ 
vancing  its  stated  purposes  by  educa¬ 
tional  methods  only.  A  by-law  pro¬ 
hibits  the  endorsement  of  any  candi¬ 
date  for  elective  or  appointive  public 
office,  nor  may  the  funds  of  the  cor¬ 
poration  be  used  to  promote  such 
candidacy. 

Secretary,  Walter  Fairchild,  15 
Park  Row,  New  York,  N.  Y. 


LEOPOLD  SCHEPP  FOUNDATION 

Before  Mr.  Schepp  died  he  endowed 
the  Foundation  with  $2,500,000  and 
after  organizing  the  movement  in  be¬ 
half  of  boys,  he  gave  $1,000,000  for  the 
similar  assistance  of  girls,  in  memory 
of  his  mother. 

Purpose — to  encourage  the  best  im¬ 
pulses  in  a  boy’s  life;  to  help  in  a 
substantial  way  those  who  wish  to 
make  the  most  of  their  opportunities. 
Boys  are  required  to  sign  a  pledge  to 
abstain  from  gambling  and  drinking 
among  other  things  and  if  the  pledge 
is  kept  for  three  years,  the  holder  will 
be  entitled  to  the  sum  of  two  hundred 
dollars.  No  conditions  are  attached  to 
this  gift  but  it  is  hoped  that  it  will  be 
used  either  to  promote  the  holder’s 
education  or  to  help  establish  him  in 
business. 

Announcement  has  been  made  that 
the  Foundation  has  completed  plans 
to  aid  deserving  girls  of  New  York 
and  its  suburbs,  to  obtain  scholarships 
in  professional,  trade  and  domestic 
courses.

SCRIPPS  FOUNDATION  FOR  RE¬ 
SEARCH  IN  POPULATION  PROB¬ 
LEMS 

Established  in  1922  by  the  late 
E.  W.  Scripps,  to  study  “the  problems 
arising  out  of  the  growth  of  population 
in  the  United  States.”  Mr.  Scripps 
established  this  work  because  of  his 
great  interest  in  the  subject;  he  had 
been  interested  in  it  for  30  years. 

The  field  of  interest  is  as  broad  as 
the  descriptive  term  “population 
problems,”  but  naturally  is  limited  by 
the  funds  available  and  the  interests 
of  the  men  at  work.  At  present  Mr. 
Thompson  and  Mr.  Whelpton,  with 
assistants,  constitute  the  staff.  Mr. 
Thompson’s  interest  is  rather  general, 
but  he  is  now  engaged,  in  co-operation 
with  the  Census  Bureau,  on  a  mono¬ 
graph  on  the  proportion  of  children  to 
women  in  the  United  States,  while  Mr. 
Whelpton,  who  is  an  agricultural 


economist,  is  working  on  the  efficiency 
of  different  types  of  farming  from  the 
standpoint  of  their  ability  to  support 
population. 

The  Foundation  has  been  in  exist¬ 
ence  less  than  four  years.  Conse¬ 
quently  no  large  projects  have  yet 
been  completed.  The  publications  up 
to  this  time  consist  of  a  number  of 
papers  on  various  phases  of  population 
questions.

SEARS-ROEBUCK  AGRICULTURAL 
FOUNDATION 

The  establishment  of  the  Sears- 
Roebuck  Agricultural  Foundation  to 
render  a  constructively  helpful  service 
to  the  farming  industry,  was  an¬ 
nounced  in  November,  1923,  by  Julius 
Rosenwald,  President  of  the  mail 
order  company. 

Mr.  Rosenwald  said  that  the  Foun¬ 
dation  would  be  headed  by  “the  most 
capable  men  to  be  found  in  the 
agricultural  field.” 

The  Sears-Roebuck  Agricultural 
Foundation  maintains  a  staff  of  50 
workers.  It  owns  and  operates  Radio 
Station  W-L-S,  conducts  research 
investigations,  maintains  an  extensive 
farm  service,  holds  shows  and  demon¬ 
strations,  and  publicizes  its  findings.

JOHN  F.  SLATER  FUND 

In  1882  this  Fund  was  created  by 
Mr.  Slater’s  gift  of  $1,000,000.  This 
fund  is  used  largely  in  paying  the 
salaries  of  teachers  in  schools  which 
train  young  colored  people  in  indus¬ 
trial  pursuits  and  for  the  profession  of 
teaching.  For  the  past  twelve  years 
much  of  the  resources  of  the  Fund 
has  been  used  in  supporting  Public 
County  Training  Schools  established 
through  the  co-operation  of  the  Slater 
Board.  In  1912  these  schools  num¬ 
bered  four;  in  1926,  two  hundred  and 
seventy-five.

THE  SYMES  FOUNDATION 

The  Symes  Foundation  was  incor¬ 
porated  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of 
New  York  in  1917.  The  purposes  of 
incorporation  are  set  forth  in  its  ar¬ 
ticles  as  follows: 

“  (1)  to  take  title  to  and  ownership 
of  certain  lands,  premises,  rights  and 
privileges  represented  by  and  existent 
under  the  'Lancaster  Symes  Grant,’ 
which  rights  and  interests  are  now 
vested  in  and  exercised  by  the  Ameri¬ 
can  Title  and  Trust  Company,  a  Dela¬ 
ware  Corporation  with  its  principal 
office  in  the  Dupont  Building,  Wil¬ 
mington,  Delaware;  (2)  to  hold  the 
same  in  fee,  to  sell  and  convey  any 
part  or  parts,  to  devote  to  public  use 
any  part  or  parts;  (3)  to  use  such 
proceeds  as  may  be  available  from  said 
sale  or  otherwise  together  with  any 
portion  of  said  properties  reserved  and 
held  to  promote  and  develop  the 
physical,  mental,  moral  and  spiritual 
welfare  of  the  people  of  Staten  Island 
and  elsewhere,  (a)  by  furnishing  to  the 
people  of  Staten  Island  certain  bath¬ 
ing  beaches,  (b)  by  erecting  thereon, 
equipping  and  sustaining  fresh  air 
camps  and  lodges,  hospitals,  rest 
cures  and  hotels  for  the  benefit  and 
recuperation  of  those  needing  such, 
(c)  by  conducting  what  is  commonly 
known  as  Chautauqua  courses;  by 
operating  moving  pictures  and  other 
proper  and  lawful  pleasure-giving  and 
instructive  amusements;  by  conduct¬ 
ing  and  maintaining  musical,  literary, 
gospel,  and  evangelistic  services,  which 
shall  in  every  case  be  without  admis¬ 


sion  fee  and  free  to  the  people,  (d)  pro¬ 
viding  free  pavilions  and  making  all 
such  other  improvements  as  may  be 
deemed  necessary,  desirable  or  con¬ 
venient  for  carrying  out  the  purposes 
and  objects  of  this  corporation,  (e)  to 
pay  out,  beautify  and  improve  parks, 
drives,  roadways,  board-walks  on  the 
seashores  and  to  do  each  and  every¬ 
thing  proper  both  expressed  and  im¬ 
plied  in  the  foregoing  which  may  be 
deemed  desirable  to  aid  this  corpora¬ 
tion  in  promoting  and  developing 
the  benevolent  work  for  which  it  is 
organized.” 

The  document  states  that  the 
“county  within  which  its  operations 
are  to  be  conducted  is  Richmond 
County,  New  York  State,”  and  that 
the  “principal  office  is  to  be  located  in 
the  Borough  of  Manhattan,  in  the 
County  of  New  York  and  State  of 
New  York.” 

The  Symes  Foundation  has  become 
especially  interested  in  the  problem  of 
higher  education.  It  has  been  making 
a  careful  study  of  the  educational 
situation  in  the  Metropolitan  area  and 
has  undertaken  the  organization  of 
Trinity  University  as  an  aid  in  meet¬ 
ing  the  educational  crisis.  Its  plan  is 
to  establish,  or  federate  together,  unit 
colleges  in  the  important  centers  of 
population  in  this  district  under  a 
University  Charter  with  central  ad¬ 
ministrative  and  educational  head¬ 
quarters  in  a  Post  Graduate  College, 
the  proper  location  for  which  is  now  a 
matter  of  consideration. 

The  Symes  Foundation  has  asso¬ 
ciated  with  it  in  this  enterprise 
eminent  educators  and  other  repre¬ 
sentative  citizens  of  large  resources 
who,  together  with  the  Foundation, 
are  profoundly  interested  in  the  estab¬ 
lishment  here  of  a  great  University 
which  shall  be  founded  upon  the 
principles  of  our  Christian  civilization.

THOMAS  THOMPSON  TRUST 

This  Trust,  which  became  effective 
in  1901,  was  created  under  the  will  of 
Thomas  Thompson,  who  left  over 
$1,000,000,  the  income  to  be  put  to 
benevolent  uses  in  the  towns  of 
Brattleboro,  Vermont,  and  Rhine- 
beck,  New  York.  The  desire  of  the 
founder  was  that  this  Fund  should  go 
“for  or  towards  the  relief  and  support 
of  poor  seamstresses,  needle  women 
and  shop  girls,  who  may  be  in  tem¬ 
porary  need  from  want  of  employ¬ 
ment,  sickness  or  misfortune.”  If  the 
whole  income  were  not  needed  for  this 
form  of  relief,  the  Trustees  were  to 
apply  the  surplus  to  kindred  charitable 
purposes. 


About  one-fourth  of  the  income  has 
been  spent  in  direct  relief,  but  the 
Trustees  have  devoted  their  main 
activities  to  the  prevention  rather 
than  palliation  of  the  kind  of  distress 
that  the  testator  had  found  to  exist. 
They  have  worked  out  a  comprehen¬ 
sive  system  for  the  care  of  the  sick  in 
Brattleboro  and  have  assisted  the 
New  York  State  Charities  Aid  Associa¬ 
tion  in  a  study  of  sickness  in  Dutchess 
county,  New  York,  in  which  county 
Rhinebeck  is  located,  with  a  view  to 
working  out  the  best  system  of  care  to 
be  adopted  in  that  county.

UNION  MEMORIAL  FOUNDATION 

The  Union  Memorial  Foundation  is 
a  philanthropic  non-profit  sharing 
organization  incorporated  under  the 
Michigan  state  law  and  has  been  in 
existence  about  two  years.  It  owns 
a  building  adjacent  to  Blodgett  Me¬ 
morial  Hospital  in  East  Grand  Rapids 
valued  at  approximately  $250,000. 
The  building  is  mortgaged  for  $75,000. 
The  subscribers  to  the  fund  necessary 
to  the  erection  of  the  building  own 
non-profit  sharing  stock  in  the  Foun¬ 
dation.  They  elect  a  Board  of  Trus¬ 
tees  who  control  the  affairs  of  the 
Foundation.  The  Foundation  leases 
the  building  to  a  group  of  physicians 
without  rent,  but  who  agree  over  a 
period  of  years  to  meet  all  expenses 
connected  with  the  maintenance  of  the 
building  and  grounds  and  within  a 
period  of  thirteen  and  one-half  years  to 
pay  the  maturing  bonds  and  interest. 

The  purpose  of  the  Foundation  is  to 
establish  a  diagnostic  clinic  (called  the 
Grand  Rapids  Clinic)  and  to  give  such 
service  to  patients  who  come  to  the 
Clinic  at  a  maximum  fee  of  $25  includ¬ 


ing  the  cost  of  X-ray  and  laboratory 
work.  Arrangements  are  made  with 
the  adjacent  hospital  (Blodgett  Me¬ 
morial)  whereby  such  laboratory  and 
X-ray  service  is  furnished  the  Clinic  at 
cost.  It  is  hoped  that  by  definitely 
grouping  together  a  number  of  physi¬ 
cians  representing  the  various  special¬ 
ists  of  the  profession  to  give  this  com¬ 
munity  an  exceptionally  good  service 
at  a  moderate  cost.

GEORGE  ROBERT  WHITE  FUND 

The  George  Robert  White  Fund  is 
a  permanent  charitable  trust  fund, 
willed  to  the  City  of  Boston,  the  net 
income  only  to  be  used  for  “creating 
works  of  public  utility  and  beauty,  for 
the  use  and  enjoyment  of  the  inhabi¬ 
tants  of  the  City  of  Boston.”  No 
part  of  the  income,  however,  is  to  be 
used  for  a  religious,  political,  educa¬ 
tional  or  any  purpose  which  it  shall 
be  the  duty  of  the  city  in  the  ordinary 
course  of  events  to  provide. 

Control  and  management  of  the 
Fund  is  in  the  hands  of  a  board  of  five 
trustees — to  consist  of  the  Mayor,

City  Auditor,  President  of  the  Cham¬ 
ber  of  Commerce,  and  the  President  of 
the  Bar  Association  of  the  City  of

THE  WHITE  MEMORIAL  FOUNDATION 

The  White  Memorial  Foundation 
is  a  Connecticut  corporation,  incor¬ 
porated  in  1913  and  located  at  Litch¬ 
field,  Conn.  It  was  founded  by  Alain 
C.  White  and  his  sister,  Miss  May 
W.  White,  as  a  memorial  to  their 
parents  and  to  two  brothers. 

The  Foundation  now  has  an  endow¬ 
ment  of  about  $500,000  and  owns 
3,000  acres  of  land  on,  and  adjoining, 
Bantam  Lake,  in  the  towns  of  Litch¬ 
field  and  Morris,  Conn.  In  addition  it 
has  donated  to  the  State  of  Connecti¬ 
cut,  for  park  and  forestry  purposes, 


additional  tracts  aggregating  4,500 
acres,  including  Kent  Falls,  Mace¬ 
donia  Brook,  Mohawk  Mountain,  and 
one  or  two  minor  properties.  The 
Foundation  rents  the  hunting  rights 
on  2,500  acres  adjoining  its  tract  in 
Litchfield  and  Morris,  and  this  land  is 
devoted  to  wild  life  sanctuary  pur¬ 
poses. 

Aside  from  the  sanctuary,  the  Foun¬ 
dation  uses  its  tract  in  Litchfield  and 
Morris  for  various  semi-public  pur¬ 
poses.  Here  is  a  wild  garden;  a 
country  club  and  golf  links;  a  chil¬ 
dren’s  fresh  air  home,  the  summer 
branch  of  the  Sheltering  Arms  of  504 
West  129th  St.,  New  York  City;  a 
motor  camping  colony,  with  pro¬ 
visions  for  boating,  swimming,  etc.; 
and  the  like. 

The  sanctuary  is  administered  in 
conjunction  with  the  Connecticut 
State  Board  of  Fisheries  and  Game, 
who  have  located  the  State  Game 
Farm  on  the  tract,  formerly  estab¬ 
lished  at  Madison,  Conn. 

The  Foundation  is  administered  by 
a  board  of  seven  trustees,  who  are  self- 
perpetuating. 

President,  Hon.  George  M.  Wood¬ 
ruff,  Litchfield,  Conn.;  Secretary,

Ave.  and  55th  St.,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

WHITE-WILLIAMS  FOUNDATION 

The  White-Williams  Foundation  was 
organized  in  1800  as  the  Magdalen 
Society  of  Philadelphia  and  was  incor¬ 
porated  in  1802.  The  Society  main¬ 
tained  a  home  for  “unhappy  females 
who  .  .  .  are  desirous  of  return¬ 

ing  to  a  life  of  rectitude.”  In  1916 
women  were  added  to  the  Board, 
which  up  to  that  time  had  been  com¬ 
posed  entirely  of  men,  and  the  organi¬ 
zation  made  a  survey  to  discover  how 
to  reach  the  causes  of  the  delinquency 
which  they  are  now  trying  to  remove. 
In  February,  1920,  the  name  was 
changed  to  The  White-Williams 
Foundation,  as  a  memorial  to  its 
first  president,  Bishop  William  White, 
the  first  Protestant  Episcopal  Bishop 


of  Pennsylvania,  and  to  George 
Williams,  who,  as  chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  in  1849,  made  a 
plea  for  the  kind  of  work  which 
the  organization  undertook  in  1917. 
That  same  year  the  charter  was 
amended  and  the  constitution  revised 
to  permit  the  “progressive  solution 
of  .  .  .  problems  .  .  .  which 

affect  the  immediate  or  ultimate  inter¬ 
ests  of  children  and  youth  of  school 
age.” 

At  that  time  the  Foundation  had  a 
small  capital  of  $71,615.72  and  $140,- 
079.95  from  the  sale  of  the  Home  to 
the  Municipal  Court.  To  inaugurate 
its  new  work  and  to  introduce  it  into 
the  public  schools  as  soon  as  possible, 
it  has  regarded  the  latter  amount  as 
working  capital  and  from  time  to  time 
the  Foundation  has  invested  parts  of 
it  in  its  current  activities.  It  carried 
on  a  campaign  for  funds  until  1921, 
when  it  joined  the  Welfare  Federation 
which  was  organized  that  year  in 
Philadelphia. 

Purpose:  The  work  in  which  the 
Foundation  is  now  engaged  is  the 
development  of  a  technique  for  study¬ 
ing  the  social  background  and  personal 
characteristics  of  the  individual  child 
in  the  schools,  in  order  that  he  may  be 
given  guidance  adapted  to  his  needs. 

Present  Activities: 

School  counseling.  The  Foundation 
has  placed  counselors  in  a  selected 
group  of  Philadelphia  schools: 

1.  To  prove  the  value  of  social  work 
in  the  schools  by  intensive  case 
work  with  individual  children  in 
schools  of  various  types,  and 

2.  To  develop  a  technique  for  hand¬ 
ling  the  social  problems  that 
present  themselves  in  schools,  in 
order  that  standards  and  ma¬ 
chinery  may  be  readily  adapted 
to  the  uses  of  the  public  school 
system  when  this  work  is  adopted 
by  the  Board  of  Public  Education. 

Scholarships :  Grants  scholarships 
to  boys  and  girls  over  fourteen  years 
of  age  who  will  profit  by  further  edu¬ 
cation  and  who,  without  financial 


assistance,  would  not  be  able  to  keep 
on  in  school. 

Training  for  school  counseling  in 
co-operation  with  Pennsylvania  school 
of  social  and  health  work,  and  Depart¬ 
ments  of  Education  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  and  of  Swarthmore 
College. 

Development  of  Public  Opinion : 
The  Foundation  endeavors  to  use  the 
opportunities  which  come  to  it  from 
time  to  time  for  disseminating  infor¬ 
mation  and  developing  public  opinion, 
especially  among  educators  and  social 
workers,  regarding  the  value  of  social 
work  in  the  schools.

WIEBOLDT  FOUNDATION 

The  Wieboldt  Foundation  was  es¬ 
tablished  June  24,  1921,  as  the  Chi¬ 
cago  Charitable  Corporation  by  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  William  A.  Wieboldt,  through 
a  gift  of  assets  valued  at  approx¬ 
imately  five  million  dollars.  Its  pur¬ 
pose  is  best  expressed  by  a  statement 
in  the  by-laws,  which  is  as  follows: 
“To  benefit  an  indefinite  number  of 
persons,  either  by  bringing  their 
hearts  under  the  influence  of  reli¬ 
gion  or  education,  or  relieving  their 
bodies  from  disease,  suffering,  or  re¬ 
straint,  or  maintaining  public  build¬ 
ings  or  works,  or  otherwise  lessening 
the  burdens  of  government.” 

The  organization  is  controlled  by  a 
board  of  directors,  elected  annually  by 
the  members. 

The  policy  of  the  directors  has  been, 
in  the  past,  to  give  financial  assistance 
to  philanthropic  organizations,  basing 
the  amount  of  their  donation  upon 
first,  the  need  of  the  community  for 
the  service  rendered,  and  second,  upon 
the  effectiveness  with  which  the  or¬ 
ganization  meets  this  need.  The 
apportionment  has  been  determined 
on  a  percentage  basis,  the  larger  part 
of  the  funds  being  allotted  to  construc¬ 
tive,  rather  than  to  relief  work.

AMHERST  H.  WILDER  CHARITY 

The  three  wills  of  Amherst  H. 
Wilder,  his  wife  and  his  daughter, 
authorized  the  organization  of  a  cor¬ 
poration  to  administer  the  family 
estate  in  such  a  way  as  should  “best 
operate  in  a  permanent  manner  to 
relieve,  aid  and  assist  the  poor,  sick, 
and  needy  people  of  the  city  of  Saint 
Paul.”  The  consolidated  corporation 
was  organized  on  December  1,  1910.

ALFRED  L.  WILLSON  CHARITABLE 
FOUNDATION 

The  Alfred  L.  Willson  Charitable 
Foundation  was  incorporated  in  1919 
and  has  so  far  had  for  its  general  pur¬ 
pose  the  distribution  of  income  for 
ordinary  charitable  activities.  Later 
its  aim  and  purpose  will  be  changed  to 
that  of  “Prevention” — so  as  to  try  to 
avoid  the  many  calls  now  necessary 
for  charitable  aid,  which  might  have 
been  obviated.  Some  millions  will 
finally  be  available  for  this  purpose.

institute  for  the  care,  treatment  and 
surgery  of  the  human  eye,  as  well  as 
research  in  the  field  of  medical  science 
as  it  relates  to  the  eye.” 

“The  William  Holland  Wilmer 
Foundation  is  created  as  a  tribute  to 
the  character,  professional  attain¬ 
ment  and  service  to  humanity  of  Dr. 
William  Holland  Wilmer.” 

In  co-operation  with  the  Johns 
Hopkins  University,  the  Wilmer  Foun¬ 
dation  raised  a  fund  of  $3,000,000  for 
the  establishment  of  the  Wilmer  Insti¬ 
tute  in  Baltimore  at  the  Johns  Hop¬ 
kins  Medical  School  and  Hospital. 
This  Institute  commenced  operations 
October,  1925,  under  the  direction  of 
Dr.  Wilmer  and  a  staff  of  specialists.

WOODROW  WILSON  FOUNDATION 

The  awarding  of  the  Nobel  peace 
prize  in  1920  to  Woodrow  Wilson  gave 
Mrs.  Charles  E.  Simonson  and  Mrs. 
Charles  L.  Tiffany,  both  of  New  York, 
the  idea  that  a  similar  foundation 
should  be  established  in  this  country 
in  recognition  of  the  national  and  in¬ 
ternational  services  of  Mr.  Wilson, 
twice  President  of  the  United  States, 
who  “furthered  the  cause  of  human 
freedom  and  was  instrumental  in 
pointing  out  effective  methods  for  the 
co-operation  of  the  liberal  forces  of 
mankind  throughout  the  world.”  The 
Foundation  was  actually  established 
December  23,  1920,  at  Mrs.  Tiffany’s 
home  in  New  York.  At  a  meeting 
held  March  15,  1921,  at  the  Hotel 
Biltmore,  the  organization  of  the 
Foundation  was  completed.  The  first 


appeal  for  funds  was  made  January 
16,  1922,  and  at  a  meeting  held  in  New 
York  City  on  December  27,  1922, 
when  the  permanent  organization  of 
the  Foundation  was  accomplished,  it 
was  announced  that  the  contributions 
to  the  proposed  $1,000,000  fund  at 
that  time  amounted  to  over  $800,000. 
The  fund  was  turned  over  on  the  date 
mentioned  to  the  trustees  of  the 
Foundation  and  on  the  following 
December  28th  the  former  President’s 
66th  birthday,  a  committee  was  sent 
to  Washington  to  notify  Mr.  Wilson 
of  the  actual  creation  of  the  Founda¬ 
tion  in  his  honor. 

An  award  from  the  income  of  the 
Foundation  will  be  made  from  time  to 
time  by  a  nationally  constituted  com¬ 
mittee  to  the  living  individual  who  has 
rendered,  within  a  specified  period,  un¬ 
selfish  public  service  of  enduring  value. 

President,  Norman  H.  Davis;  Sec¬ 
retary,  Katherine  C.  Blackburn,  17  E. 
42nd  St.,  New  York,  N.  Y. 

SELMENE  WINTER  FOUNDATION 

The  Selmene  Winter  Foundation  is 
a  fund  started  by  Mrs.  Lillian  Winter 
in  memory  of  her  daughter,  Selmene, 
and  the  purpose  of  the  Foundation  is 
to  provide  means  for  research  concern¬ 
ing  children. 

The  Foundation  has  as  its  object 
the  developmental  study  of  children. 
The  present  problem  is  the  one  of  de¬ 
termining  the  normal  and  abnormal 
development  of  the  child-chest  as  well 
as  the  earliest  indications  of  diseases 
as  evidenced  therein. 

The  Foundation  has  the  direct  co¬ 
operation  and  use  of  the  research  de¬ 
partments  and  laboratories  of  the 
University  of  Colorado.  It  also  has 
the  co-operation  of  the  following  social 
service  agencies:  Visiting  Nurses’  As¬ 
sociation  of  Denver,  Colo.;  The 
Central  Jewish  Aid  Society;  The 
Home  Service  Section  of  the  Red 
Cross,  Denver,  Colo.;  The  Selmene 
Winter  Foundation  Motor  Corps;  A 
Board  of  Consulting  Physicians;  and 
the  State  Bureau  of  Child  Welfare. 
The  financial  support  has  been  carried 


entirely  by  Mrs.  Winter,  but  the  mem¬ 
bership  is  now  open  to  friends  and 
sympathizers.

WORLD  PEACE  FOUNDATION 

The  World  Peace  Foundation,  for¬

COMMUNITY  TRUSTS 

The  Community  Trust  aims  “to  re¬ 
ceive  and  to  safeguard  donations  in 
trust  under  supervisions  and  regula¬ 
tions  imposed  by  State  legislation;  to 
employ  the  principal,  or  income,  or 
both,  for  educational  and  charitable 
purposes  in  a  broader  and  more  useful 
manner  in  future  years  than  it  is  now 
possible  to  anticipate.” 

The  funds  of  community  trusts  are 
usually  held  by  trust  companies  which 


are  responsible  for  their  investment 
and  the  collection  of  income.  The 
disbursement  of  income  is  directed  by 
a  committee,  a  minority  of  whose 
members  are  appointed  by  the  trust 
company.  The  rest  of  the  members 
are  selected  by  designated  local 
public  officials,  such  as  mayors  and 
judges,  and  by  the  chief  officers  of 
local  educational  institutions.
